Why is the call to come to Jesus universal?

Answered in 1 source

The call to come to Jesus is universal as it targets all who are weary and burdened, regardless of their past.

The universal call to come to Jesus, as articulated in Matthew 11:28, emphasizes the accessibility of His grace. Jesus invites everyone, regardless of their sinfulness or past mistakes, to approach Him for rest. This invitation reflects the Gospel's transformative power, as it promises mercy and forgiveness to all who respond with a heavy heart. In historic Reformed theology, this call aligns with the understanding that God's grace is sufficiently potent to draw sinners to Himself, highlighting His sovereignty in salvation alongside human responsibility to respond. Such a universal call invites those who recognize their need to come and receive the promised rest in Christ.
