Come Unto Me.

By C. A. ELLIS.

“Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt. xi, 28, 29, 30.

How comforting are these words of our Saviour. He bade all come to him and find rest. He made no distinction between Jew or Gentile; but the invitation “Come,” is extended to all. Come cast your burden on the Lord, and he will give you rest. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to him and be saved.

All ye that labor and are heavy laden, come to the Saviour and find rest. Whatever your burden is, however heavy it may be, he is willing to help you bear it if you will cast it upon him. Come to him in a right and acceptable manner, and you will find peace to your souls. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart. Our Saviour requires his followers to be like him in these respects, in order to receive the reward. Except ye repent and become as little children, ye cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Come one, come all. The invitation is extended to all. Christ is ready and willing to receive you. He is waiting for you to come. Confess your sins, and he is willing and able to forgive. For he that covereth his sins shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

“The Spirit and the bride say come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Come without money and without price.” He requires neither. “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found. Call upon him while he is near.”
