0231. THREE GREAT WORDS.

THREE GREAT WORDS.

I. "Come." Approach (Mat_11:28). This is one of the sweetest words in our language. It is a word full of music. To those who come, He will give rest.

II. "Become." Sonship (Joh_1:11-12). Those who come to Him and receive Him, become what they were not, the children of God.

III. "Overcome." Victory (1 John 2 13). How much we value that word. What need there is of overcoming grace. Alas, too often we are overcome, instead of overcoming.

But just as the last two words are the first, only with a different prefix, so we cannot "Become" and "Over come" unless we "Come."
