Trusting in Christ – Charles Spurgeon

I RECOLLECT standing at the Mansion House one day, waiting to cross over to the other side, when the omnibuses were coming from all the corners of the compass, and I was looking for an opportunity to run in and out between them. A blind man came up and said, “I am sure you will lead me across; I am sure you will lead me across.” I am sure I did not want the job; but I was quite sure that, if the blind man was sure I would do it, I could not decline to do it; and I did it accordingly. I did not like to have a blind man’s confidence thrown away; it seemed as if his confidence was my compulsion. And, oh, blind sinner, lay hold upon the skirts of Christ tonight, and say, “Jesus, I believe you will lead me into Heaven. At any rate, I mean to trust you to do it. I have done with saving myself, and I mean to rely on you, and you only.” I tell you, your faith will compel him; your trust shall hold him fast; he will do anything for faith.
