IN CLOSING, let me once more appeal to the unsaved. My friends, do come to God now. Come, pleading the death of Jesus for you—He will receive you, He will find joy in it. Will you receive Christ? On His part He has said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)). It was said of Him, “This Man receiveth sinners!” (Luke 15:22And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. (Luke 15:2)), and ’tis true of Him today.
Does that drunkard inquire if the Lord will receive him? The Savior answers: “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
Does that pleasure seeking worldling inquire? Jesus saith, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
Does that religious but unconverted man inquire? The Lord answers, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.”
My friends, the Lord turns away none who come to Him. Come, then—come now, and you shall be forgiven, justified and saved forever. Then you also shall be able to sing:
“On the Lamb my soul is resting;
What His love no tongue can say:
All my sins, so great, so many,
In His blood are washed away.
“Sweetest rest and peace have filled me,
Sweeter praise than tongue can tell;
God is satisfied with Jesus,
I am satisfied as well.”
—R. DIXON EDWARDS.

“Still shall the keyword ringing,
Echo the same sweet ‘Come!’
‘Come!’ with the blessed myriads.
Safe in the Father’s Home;
‘Come!’ for the toil is over;
‘Come’ for the feast is spread;
‘Come!’ for the crown of glory
Waits for the weary head.”
