Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristSample
Commands of Christ: 58
Come to Me and drink.
This is reminiscent of Jesus’ conversation with the woman at the well in Samaria in John 4. In verse 10 Jesus told her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” This is the sort of command which it is an obvious and immediate joy to obey. We have thirst. In this fallen world, there is so much unfulfilled desire, so much difficulty, so much heartache. Jesus commands us to come to Him to find fulfillment. He is the answer to the questions. He is the provision for the need. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we receive the downpayment on eternal, redeemed, full life. Come to Jesus. Drink.

About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
