The Whosoever

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29

I recently read, “At a service conducted in London by Dr. G. Campbell Morgan, a hardened criminal came forward to the altar seeking salvation.  Dr. Morgan knelt beside him and pointed him to Jesus the Lamb of God who could cleanse him from all his sins, and he who had been a great sinner believed and was converted.

Then Dr. Morgan saw the Mayor of the city, a man of high morals and greatly respected, kneeling at the same altar, and to him, as to the criminal, he pointed out the Lamb of God who alone could take away sins.  In humble self-surrender, the Mayor, too, accepted Jesus as his Saviour.  A short time before this, the Mayor had sentenced the criminal to imprisonment; and there at the altar, the two shook hands while tears of joy ran down their cheeks.”

Sometimes we are quick to forget the wonderful truth of the “whosoever” in the Bible.  We like to compare ourselves to those around us.  We say, “I was lost but not near as lost as that man or woman or that boy or girl.”  The Bible says, “As it is written, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE: THERE IS NONE THAT UNDERSTANDETH, THERE IS NONE THAT SEEKETH AFTER GOD. THEY ARE ALL GONE OUT OF THE WAY, THEY ARE TOGETHER BECOME UNPROVITABLE; THERE IS NONE THAT DOETH GOOD, NO, NOT, ONE” (Romans 3:10-12).  A powerful reminder of where the redeemed in Christ Jesus once stood.
The way has been made for the saving of one’s soul, but the lost sinner must come to Christ. God the Father draws the lost while the Word of God and the Holy Spirit of God work in tandem to convict the lost of their sin (what a picture of the trinity!)  The price has been paid by Jesus Christ for whosoever to come. Thru Christ their debt of sin can be cleansed, cleaned and wiped away.  For the banker or the brawler, God has provided, for the highly esteemed and the not so esteemed, God has provided.  God has provided- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16.)  God's Word brings forth a wonderful invitation, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18.)

Our time is short and our days are numbered and so we move forward by faith while nurturing a burden and brokenness for the lost. O let us be about prayer. O let us be filled with the Holy Spirit. O let us continue with a fire and fervency in our service for the Living God! O that we would take serious that which was serious enough that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

 Let's continue to pray for the “whosoever.”  Let’s continue to go to the “whosoever.” Never forget we were at one time a part of the whosoever, thank God for that!
