A Limited-Time Offer
Commentators unanimously highlight the urgency in this verse. The phrases 'while he may be found' and 'while he is near' imply a specific window of opportunity for salvation. This period of grace is open now, but it is not indefinite. Scholars like Albert Barnes and Matthew Henry warn that a time will come, whether at death or the final judgment, when the door to mercy will be closed. Therefore, the invitation is not just a suggestion but an urgent command to seek God immediately.
