He Calleth for Thee, Sinner

…and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. – John 6:37

The Master has come. This is certain. From the highest throne in glory to the manger, to the cross, and to the grave, the Master has come. That He calls for thee, this is also certain, I think. Let me give you a text in which, I think, He calls for you: “Whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely.” “Whosoever believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved.” Calls He not for you, too, in this text, “Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him turn unto the Lord, for He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon”? Calls He not for you in this verse, where He bids all that labour and are heavy-laden come unto Him, that they may rest; or in that other, “Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord. Though thy sins be as scarlet, they shall be as wool; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as snow.” He calleth for thee. Do not disbelieve Him. It is certainly matchless grace, but He is a God and none is like unto Him. “As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are His thoughts above your thoughts.” But does your heart say, “Why, if I thought Jesus called for me, I would come”? Then He does call thee; that speech of thine, “I would come,” proves it; ’tis He that makes thee feel willing. Dost thou long for Him? Oh! He is putting  His hand in at the door of thy heart, and making thy bowels yearn for Him. Does a tear drop on the floor, and do you say, “It cannot be that such a one as I should ever live and be saved, and be Christ’s”? Why, thy very admiration at His grace shows that some of His grace is at work upon thee. Trust thou that that arm can save: trust thou that that pierced hand can grasp thee; trust thou that that heart that was gashed with a spear can feel for thee. Trust thyself wholly to Him. “Go thy way; thy sins which are many are forgiven thee.” If thou hast trusted Him, thou art saved. Come and cast thyself at Jesus’ feet. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
