Listen from:
A Scottish shepherd, in great anxiety of soul, asked a preacher if he could tell him what was meant by "coming to Christ." "I have been hearing," he said, "a most touching sermon; we have been urged to ‘Come to Christ.’ I feel as if I am sitting on nettles, for he has never told us HOW to come to Him. Can you tell me?"
"Can you fly to Him?"
"No, I cannot do that."
"Can you walk on your feet to Christ?"
"No."
The preacher then told him that Christ, though in heaven, was beside him on earth, loving him with a deep, strong, and tender love, eagerly anxious to save him.
He was shown that with his mind and heart, and not with his body, he was to go to Jesus. In other words, he was to believe on Him who died that he might live.
"Is that it? Is it so simple? I see it now," he said and went on his way rejoicing.
"I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him."
Have you come to Jesus yet? If not, come to Him now. Believe in His love and death for you, and you will know, on the authority of Him who cannot lie, that you are saved and have eternal life.
