Christ's Welcome

Our right to come to Jesus is full and clear. It is irrespective of aught in us. It presupposes Our need and our sin—nothing more. The invitation is wide and free, with no restriction, and requiring no prerequisite. It does not fence itself round with conations, as if fearful that too many might avail themselves of it, or as if desirous to keep off as unqualified or Unworthy. It makes no exceptions as to previous life or present character. It welcomes the Unworthiest. It forbids none. It leaves no room for suspicion on the part of any.
"Come, and come at once; come baldly;" is its message to all; for "him that cometh to, Me, I will in no wise cast out." John 6.37. Christ's free love beckons and beseeches you. It does not stand on ceremony or insist on terms. It does not say, Whosoever dunes in this manner, or that manner, according to this rule or that rule, but "Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out.”
"Come unto Me, all ye that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
"Come to the Savior, make no delay!
Here in His Word He's shown us the way.
And in our midst He's standing today
Tenderly saying, 'COME.'”
