Come Ye Sinners, Lost and Hopeless

Come Ye sinners, lost and hopeless, Jesus blood can make you free; For He saved the worst among you, when He saved a wretch like me. And I know, yes, I know, Jesus blood can make the vilest sinner clean. And I know, yes, I know, Jesus blood can make the vilest sinner clean. This hymn, written in 1920, by Anna Waterman, is an invitation of salvation that only comes through Christ Jesus. For It’s only the blood of Jesus, through his death on the Cross that can totally cleanse, wash and set anyone free that is bound by the snare of sin.

In Luke 5:32; Jesus said, I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

What is Repentance? According to the Greek concordance, it’s a change of mind of those who have begun to abhor their errors and deeds, a recognition of sin and a sorrowing because of it, and a determination to turn from sin and enter a better way of life.

That is the call of Jesus, a call for sinners to see themselves as God sees them, a call for sinners to realize there is a way out of sin, a way that has already been paid for by the blood of Jesus! A call for the lost and hopeless to see the great price Jesus paid, and the love of God that covers a multitude of sin!

1 John 1:6; If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship, one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 3:5; And ye know that he (Jesus) was manifested to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. 8. He that commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 4:9; In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) for our sins.....1 John 5:17; All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death.

Jesus also said in Luke 15:7; I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner (wicked, one who practices sin, sinful) that repents, more than over ninety nine just persons who need no repentance.

Come Ye sinners, lost, lonely, hopeless, bound, sin sick, There’s a call to Repentance!

For the precious blood of Jesus can make even the vilest sinner clean!

God bless.
