Flee To Christ Jesus - The Ark of Salvation!
Have
you sins, or have you none? If you have, whither should you go, but
to the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world? Have you
souls, or have you none? If you have, where should you go, but to the
Savior of souls? Is there a life to come, or is there not? If there
is, where should you go but to Him, who only hath the words of
eternal life? Is there a wrath to come, or is there not? If there is,
where should you go, but to Him, who only can deliver from the wrath
to come? And will He not receive you? If He yielded Himself into the
hands of them that sought His life, will He hide Himself from the
hearts of them that seek His mercy?
If
He was willing to be taken by the hand of violence, is He not more
than willing to be taken by the hands of faith? He that died for your
sins, will He cast you off for your infirmities? O come, come, come!
I charge you, come. I beseech you come: come and He will give you
life. Come, and He will give you rest. Come and He will receive you.
Knock, and He will open to you. Look to Him, and He will save you.
Did ever any come to Him for a cure, and go away without it? You
would find something in yourself, but you find nothing but what you
have reason to be ashamed of; but let not that hinder, but further
your coming. Come as you are; come poor, come needy, come naked, come
empty, come wretched, only come, only believe; His heart is free, His
arms are open; 'tis His joy and His crown to receive you. If you are
willing, He never was otherwise.
