A wonderful invitation! Everyone can... - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
John 6:37

A wonderful invitation! Everyone can and may come ? no one is turned away. Jesus Christ invites people to Himself, invites all to come to Him. And whoever comes can be sure that he will be welcomed and accepted. The CEO comes along with the intern, the teacher with the student, the pensioner alongside the young person, and the respectable citizen beside the prisoner. They come from all walks of life and cultures, and from all age groups. A diverse society! All have one direction, one goal: toward Jesus Christ.

There are no entry requirements, no entrance exams, no number limits, no assessment centres, no internships as test runs, and no probationary periods. Isn’t that wonderful?

“Who” means everyone – and “who comes” means right now, in the here and now, in life, not later and certainly not in the hereafter. Besides, it means “to Me”. So it isn’t just any destination, or a self-chosen religion. “To Me” implies through Jesus Christ, for He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). But today’s Bible verse not only invites – it also offers absolute security and reliability. I can be sure that when I come to Jesus, I will never be “pushed out the door”: “I will by no means cast him out” applies to coming and staying. My salvation, once it happens, is absolutely certain. How wonderful!

He who is “inside” and knows himself to be so secure cannot remain silent. He will invite those who are still “outside” to come to Jesus. They too should experience how beautiful it is to be accepted and loved.

Come to the Saviour, make no delay;
Here in His word He’s shown us the way;
Here in our midst He’s standing today,
Tenderly saying, “Come!” George Fr. Root (1820–1895)
