AUGUST 5
COME, FOR JESUS JUST SUITS YOU.
"It pleased the Father that in Him
should all fullness dwell" Colossians 1:19
Jesus is in every sense suited to the sinner,
because he has all he needs, and
has done all that is required for his justification.
Not only so, but he has the heart to give what he has,
and to make over what he has done,
to all who apply to him in faith.
Is your heart hard? He can soften it.
Is your conscience guilty? He can cleanse it from guilt.
Are your fears distressing? He can dissipate them.
Is your unbelief strong? He can conquer it.
Is your heart weak? He can give you strength.
He has . . .
a fountain, in which to cleanse you;
a robe, with which to adorn you;
wealth, with which to enrich you; and
a glorious Heaven, to which he will introduce you!
He can supply every need,
he can heal every disease,
he can rectify every mistake.
Come, then, to Jesus; he will give you both grace and glory.
We need not enter minutely into any one's case or circumstances:
the one question is,
Are you a sinner?
If so, Jesus is exactly suited to your case.
Are you desiring to be saved?
He is able to save you.
Are you willing to be saved by him?
Then, he is willing to save you.
He has the mercy, the merit, and the power
that are necessary to save sinners;
and he delights to manifest his mercy,
impart his merit and exert his power.
He needs no inducement — he has that in his own gracious nature.
He asks for no merits from you,
for he gladly receives and
perfectly saves the vilest of the vile.

None
can be too vile for Jesus;
none can be too weak for Jesus;
none can be too empty for Jesus.
The viler, the weaker, the emptier the sinner,
the more welcome to Jesus.
The vile sinner is just suited to the loving Savior; and
Jesus the Savior is just suited to the lost sinner.
"Thou, Lord, art good, and READY TO FORGIVE, and
plenteous in mercy to all them that call upon thee"
Psalm 86:5
