Unsaved reader, do you know yourself to be a sinner? Then you are the very one for Christ to receive. That He received such was the charge which the proud Scribes and Pharisees brought against Jesus, the holy, spotless Son of God, and He is the same Jesus now that He was then, ready to receive-whom? the wise, the rich, the noble? SINNERS, Jesus came to save. He says Himself, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:3232I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Luke 5:32)). Oh, you who feel the load of sin, and know its heavy, weary weight, who perhaps have been trying to drown conscience in so-called pleasure and amusement, come now, just as you are, to Him, the receiver of sinners. Now is God's time. Come! He never refused one on earth who came to Him in earnest. Let go everything connected with yourself. Cast yourself wholly on Him. When blind Bartimaeus came to Jesus, lie cast away his garment (Mark 10:5050And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. (Mark 10:50)). So, reader, if you want to be clothed with Divine righteousness, you must cast away all your own fig leaves, and come like the blind beggar of old, dependent wholly on Him. He has paid the whole debt of sin which stood between the sinner and God, settled it wholly on Calvary's cross. Oh, don't reject His message of love. Time is short, eternity is at hand. Come, ere it be too late. If you reject God's offers of salvation here, you will have to answer to Him for it hereafter. " Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest " (Matt. 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)). S. E. C.
