In a court of law, if a man is "called" as a witness, he immediately begins to make his way up to the witness stand, even though he may be at the back of the crowded courtroom.
Nobody says, "Why is this man pushing in here?" Or, if they should say, "Who are you?" it would be sufficient to answer, "My name was called."
"But you are not rich; you wear no gold or jewels." "No! But that is not my right of entrance; I was called."
"Sir! You are not a man of renown or rank." "That doesn't matter! I was called. Make way." So make way, doubts and fears! Christ calls the sinner: "Sinner, come!"
"Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28.
You may have nothing to recommend you, yet it is written: "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37.
