“The law repels, the gospel attracts. The law shows the distance which there is between God and man. The gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it. From the first moment of your spiritual life until you are ushered into glory, the language of Christ to you will be “Come, come unto Me.”
As a mother puts out her finger to her little child and coaxes him to walk by saying, “Come,” even so does Jesus. He will always be ahead of you, bidding you follow Him as the soldier follows his captain. He will always go before you to pave your way and clear your path, and you will hear His animating voice calling you after Him all through life. In the solemn hour of death His sweet words with which He ushers you into the heavenly world will be – “Come, ye blessed of my Father”.
Mathew 25:34
Charles Spurgeon
