WHOEVER WILL, COME.

 

AUGUST 28
 
 
WHOEVER WILL, COME.
 
"The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17
 
Thus the Word of God closes. 

Reader, whoever you may be, 

whatever you may be, COME TO JESUS.
 
Are you young? 

Come to Jesus while the bloom of youth is on you. 

He loves to see young people come. 

Hear his own sweet words:

 "I love them that love me; and 

  they that seek me early shall find me."

Others may find him,

 for his grace is sovereign;

  they shall find him,

  for his word is pledged.

Come, then,
  before sin hardens you,
  before the world captivates you,
  before Satan deceives you.

Come, and let Jesus have the first 

   and best of your days!
 
Are you in life's meridian? 

Come to Jesus, delay not, 

 for a hardening process is going on. 

Your conscience will become seared. 

Your affections will be riveted to earth, 

  and custom will render it almost 

   impossible for you to come. 

Hence says the prophet, 

  "Let the Ethiopian change his skin or

  the leopard its spots, then may 

  they also do good who are

   accustomed to doing evil." 

                          Jeremiah 13:23
 
Are you aged? 

What, an old sinner! 

The head white with age,

  and the heart black with sin?

 Awful sight! 

Yet, as old as you are, 

  you may come to Jesus.

He has not excluded even those 

 who have given the devil and 

   the world the best of their days.
 
Aged sinner, do you hear, 

thou mayest come to Jesus. 

But you must come at once. 

Your sun is going down. 

Your opportunities are few. 

It is the eleventh hour, and 

 every minute counts now. 

The hand on the dial-plate will soon 

  move around to twelve, and 

  then all is over.

As death finds thee, it will leave thee; 

will it find thee unpardoned, unsanctified, unsaved!

Will it? 

O come, come to Jesus!
 
 Come this moment. 

Fall on your knees, 

  cry for mercy, 

  nor cease crying until Jesus saith to thee, 

"THY SINS ARE FORGIVEN THEE, GO IN PEACE."

"Haste thee, escape"       Genesis 19:22
 

"I mad haste, and delayed not"   Psalms 119:60

James Smith 1855
