IT is wonderful how simple are the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ concerning salvation, peace, and eternal blessing. If the children of men would only heed His gracious invitations just as they fell from His blessed lips, and come to Him, what rest would they know! What joy would flow into their hearts, and how they would know the peace of His own presence just possessing their souls!
We have thought very much recently of His own words, recorded in the Scriptures of truth, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST:” and of His further assurance that “him that cometh” He “will IN NO WISE CAST OUT.” Now, we are certain that if in all the villages of our land the simple sons of toil would only listen to the Saviour’s voice and trust in Him, they would indeed find rest, and many a weary life would be lightened with the knowledge of His surpassing care.
