Message to Sinners – Charles Spurgeon

SHIPS are sometimes surrounded by a dense fog, and the mariners know not whether they are near the land or on the wide ocean—they lie becalmed, with no stir in the air, no stir in the sea; the ship has been like a lost thing, without power of motion or knowledge of her whereabouts, and then suddenly the mariners have heard bells ringing in the blessed Sabbath, and as the silver sounds have pierced the gloomy mist the mariners have known that they were somewhere near Old England’s happy shores. My text rings out most sweetly, and, through the fogs of your soul’s despair and doubt, I trust the glad message will reach you, “The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
