Come Just As You Are!

Have you ever been involved in a come as you are party?  It is a party where someone will come and get you and you go to the party just as you are.  The choir at the church that I am a member of had something very similar to this the other day.  They went to different people and serenaded them and than brought them to choir if the people decided to come.  After choir there was an ice cream party.  There were 13 visitors in choir Wednesday!!   I am assuming that they came just as they were.

This concept really made me think.  What if somebody showed up at my house to take me to a come as you are party.  What would I look like?  Would I be ready to go join a party just as I am or would I have to say wait I have to change, I can't go like this?  On certain days or even certain times of the day I would be ready to come just as I am but other times I am not so sure!  It might even depend on who the person showing up is.

Jesus has a come just as you are party daily. His party is every minute of every day!  His party forgives of all sin!  His party is a  cleansing party.  He does not care what you look like or what you have done!  Some go to this party but don't get the message.  Some don't realize that coming just as you are could result in a new garment!  Some will leave the party still in their old garments but some are clothed in new life!

Are you ready to come just as you are??

Romans 5:8-10

New International Version (NIV)

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!

Psalm 51:7

New International Version (NIV)

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
    wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
