Sinner, Called to Christ – Charles Spurgeon

IN the courts of law I have sometimes heard a man called as a witness, and no sooner is he called, though he may be at the end of the court, than he begins to press his way up to the witness box. Nobody says, “Who is this man pushing here?” or, if they should say, “Who are you?” it would be a sufficient answer to say, “My name was called.” “But you are not rich, you have no gold ring upon your finger!” “No, but that is not it, I was called.” “But you are not a man of repute, or rank, or character.” “It matters not, I was called; make way.” So make way, you doubts and fears, make way, you devils of the infernal lake, Christ calls the sinner. Sinner, come. Though you have nothing to recommend you, yet, since it is written, “Him that comes unto me I will in no wise cast out;” come you, and the Lord bless you, for Christ’s sake.
