COME NOW AND LET US REASON TOGETHER

Scripture:  Isaiah 1:18 “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.”

     The Lord is interested in the condition of your hearts. He has spent the first part of the chapter telling Israel how rebellious and sinful they have been.  He now begins to offer a way for them to find forgiveness. He first extends an invitation to them, “Come now”.  The Lord has already “come” to us.  He now wants us to come to Him!
    When Adam had disobeyed God, the Lord came to him in the garden and the first thing He asked him was, “Where art thou?”  The Lord knew where Adam was, so why did He ask him where he was? He wanted Adam to recognize where he was! He wanted him to recognize that his sin had separated him from God.  The Lord pleads with the nation of Israel here to recognize their sin.
    He wants to reason with them so that they can receive forgiveness.  He tells them that no matter how bad their sin is or how much they have sinned, He will still wash all of those sins away!  Our forgiveness today does not depend on whether or not the Lord wants to forgive, but rather it is dependent on us recognizing our sins and being willing to confess them before the Father.
    Friend, there is forgiveness available for you today, if you will recognize yourself a sinner and Jesus as the only Savior!  He said, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved!”  Won’t you sit down and reason with the Lord today?  Won’t you come to Him now while His is calling you?
