Come to Christ

While I see the foot-tracks of my Master before me, and while I see still more His gracious sanctions following my labors; while I behold His name magnified, His glory increased, and perishing souls saved, (as thanks be to God we have witness everyday;) while this gospel warrants me, while the Spirit of God moves me, and while signs following do multiply the seals of my commission — who am I that I should stay myself for man, or resist the Holy Ghost for any flesh that breaths? Oh then, you chief of sinners, you vilest of the vile, you who are the scum of the city, the refuse of the earth, the dregs of creation, whom no man seeks after, you whose characters are destroyed, and whose inmost souls are polluted, so black that no fuller on earth can whiten you, so debased that you have sunk beyond the hope of any moralist to reclaim you! come--come to Christ. Come at His own invitation. Come, and you shall be surely received with a hearty welcome.
