I said one night to an old man who had come several times to the gospel meetings, "Isn't it time you turned to Christ for salvation?"
"I did tonight," he replied. "I'm a saved man, now."
I asked him how he knew this; was it because he had determined to give up his sinful habits and live a decent life?
He said, "No, it was not that. While you were preaching I thought I saw God holding out His hands to me and saying, 'I will receive you just as you are,' And I just came."
The old man came to God who is stretching out His hands to men all the day long. He commends His love to sinners; He beseeches them to be reconciled to Him; He "will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Are you sick of the world's deceptions and sins? Come to the Savior. Above the noise of this restless world His voice calls to you. He says: "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Let these words enter your ears and heart; they bring a great peace and a priceless blessing.
Do not close your ears to His words. Thousands have come; thousands are still coming. Do not stay away! You may find everlasting rest in His eternal love. Come now. Come just as you are. Just come!
