  21. THE INVITATION TO COME TO JESUS • O God, • I have heard your word today, and believe that I am a sinner deserving your judgment. I now repent and come to You to receive, by faith, the free gift of eternal life. Please satisfy my spiritual thirst. • I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

(2:4) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
