Main

• He is so lovingly persistent in His call to us
• Example of persistence
• God is more persistent that this
• Example of bazaar/market in India
• Preachers are to communicate the words of God
• Do not come to listen to any man but to Jesus
• He is talking to you if you feel hungry or dissatisfied (v1-2)
• Come to church to meet with Jesus (otherwise you will be dissatisfied)
• Personal example of a 'dissatisfied' life
• Material possessions cannot satisfy

• The world tries to pull you away from Jesus

• He can satisfy us
• If we cannot fully understand another human, how can we fully understand God?
• The time is now and the invitation is to all people (v6-7)
• The invitation is to the wicked and unrighteous
• Sin taints and pollutes our very being
• With Jesus there is no need for pretense
• Jesus knows what we are like and still invites us "come to Me"
• God is gracious to us
• We should ask that Jesus will replace our way with His way and our thoughts with His thoughts (v8)
