Some time since, Jim was brought to feel his need of a Savior. He got very unhappy and could find no peace; over and over again, the gospel of the grace of God was presented to him. He was told it was for sinners Jesus came, that it was "to seek and to save that which was lost" He left the glory and became a man. But all this could bring no comfort to poor Jim, and for some days he continued very wretched. At last he told his wife the cause of his unhappiness, and said, "I want to come to Christ.”
She replied, "Why don’t you?”
This word was used of God. Jim saw that Christ had finished the work, and was offering him salvation as a free gift, and all he had to do was to take it. So he came to Jesus as he was, and since then has gone on his way rejoicing.
And now, dear reader, if you are not saved, why don't you come to Jesus? Are you troubled and unhappy as Jim was? Then, why not come to Jesus just as you are? No matter how bad you feel yourself to be, Jesus knows all about your badness much better than you know yourself. He knows all, yet loves you better than He knows. His word to you is, "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." "As many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God." "And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ." And it can be all yours if you will only take it. Oh, then, delay not; now is the accepted time. H. M.
