THEY WILL COME.

If Jesus Christ were to stand on this platform tonight, what would many people do with Him? "oh," some say, "we would make Him King," I do not believe it. They would crucify Him again, if they had the opportunity. If He were to come tonight and say, "Here I am, I love thee, wilt thou be saved by Me?" Not one of you would consent if you were left to your own free will. If He should look upon you with those eyes, before whose power the lion would have couched, if He spoke with that voice which poured forth a downpour of eloquence like a stream of nectar rolling down from the cliffs above, not a single person would come to be His disciple. No, it takes the power of The Spirit to make men come to Jesus Christ. He himself said, "no one can come unto Me unless The Father Who sent Me draweth him." Yes! we want that, and here we have it. They will come! they will come!
You may laugh, you may despise us, but Jesus Christ did not die for nothing. If some of you reject Him, there are some who will not. If there are some who are not saved, others will be. Christ will see His seed, He shall lengthen His days, and the pleasure of The Lord shall prosper in His hands. Some think that Christ died for some who will be lost, I could never understand that doctrine. If Jesus my surety, bore my griefs and carried my sorrows, then I believe that I am as secure as the angels in heaven. God cannot ask for payment twice. If Christ paid my debt for me,will I have to pay it again? never.

Free from sin I walk at large

The Saviour's blood my full discharge,

At His dear feet content I lay,

A sinner saved, and homage pay.

They will come! they will come! And nothing in heaven, nor on earth,nor in hell can stop them from coming.

And now thou chiefest of sinners, listen for a moment while I call you to Jesus. There is one person here tonight who thinks of himself as the worst soul that ever lived. There is one who says to himself, "I do not deserve to be called to Christ, I am sure!" Soul! I call you! you lost, most wretched outcast, this night, by authority given me by God, I call you to come to my Saviour.

Some time ago, when I went to the county court to see what they were doing, I heard a man's name called out, and immediately the man said, "make way! make way!, they are calling me!" And up he came. Now, I call the chief of sinners tonight, and let him say, "make way! make way! doubts, make way! fears, make way! sins, Jesus calls me, and if He calls me, that is enough."

I will to His gracious feet approach

Whose scepter mercy gives.

I can but perish if I go

I am resolved to try,

for if I stay away I know,

I must forever die.
