It is man's need that brings him to God, and Jesus is the One given of God on purpose to meet the case of each needy heart; on purpose to meet your case, if you are in need.
God wants the needy heart just to turn to Him, and get its need met; and not only does it get its need met, but the moment when the heart meets Jesus is the moment fraught with deepest, richest blessing to that heart for time and for eternity.
It is a real thing to meet Christ, to know Christ. Have you met Him, dear reader? Do you know Him? Can you say, "Oh, yes, I have met Him, and there is no one I know no one I trust like Him; no one I am on such intimate terms with as Jesus"? Each heart that knows Him would say that.
The heart that has not met Jesus has no rest. No doubt you have tried to find rest—tried to find it in good works, in pleasure, in many things. But it is all of no use; there is no rest for the human heart till it gets to Jesus, and His rest is perfect, and lasts forever. When He takes up your case it is an entire cure. If He has picked me up and saved me, it is for time and for eternity. If He has pardoned me (and He has), it is once and forever. His pardon can never be cancelled. The Lord give you to know the sweetness of resting in Jesus!
"Jesus! I rest in Thee,
In Thee myself I hide;
Laden with guilt and misery,
Where can I rest beside?
'Tis on Thy meek and lowly breast
My weary soul alone can rest.
"Thou Holy One of God!
The Father rests in Thee,
And in the savor of that blood
Which speaks to Him for me;
The curse is gone—through Thee
I'm blest;
God rests in Thee—in Thee I rest.
"Soon the bright glorious day,
The rest of God, shall come!
Sorrow and sin shall pass away,
And I shall reach my home.
Then, of the promised land possessed,
My soul shall know eternal rest."
