In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink.
John 7:37
"Patience had her perfect work in the Lord Jesus, and until the last day of the feast He pleaded with the Jews, even as on this last day of the year He pleads with us, and waits to be gracious to us.
Admirable indeed is the longsuffering of the Savior in bearing with some of us year after year, notwithstanding our provocations, rebellions, and resistance of His Holy Spirit.
Provision is made most plenteously;
all is provided that man can need to quench his soul's thirst.
To his conscience the atonement brings peace;
to his understanding the gospel brings the richest instruction;
to his heart the person of Jesus is the noblest object of affection;
to the whole man the truth as it is in Jesus supplies the purest nutriment.
Thirst is terrible, but Jesus can remove it.
Dear reader, hear the dear Redeemer's loving voice as He cries to each of us, "If any man thirst, let him come unto Me and drink."
Charles Spurgeon
