glory of God. Listen to this
"I will"--it goes right into the heart--"Him that cometh unto Me, I
will in no wise cast out." Surely that is broad enough--is it not? I
don't care who the man or woman is; I don't care what their trials,
what their troubles, what their sorrows, or what their sins are, if
they will only come straight to the Master, He will not cast them out.
Come then, poor sinner; come just as you are, and take Him at His
word.

He is so anxious to save sinners, He will take everyone who comes. He
will take those who are so full of sin that they are despised by all
who know them, who have been rejected by their fathers and mothers,
who have been cast off by the wives of their bosoms. He will take
those who have sunk so low that upon them no eye of pity is cast. His
occupation is to hear and save. That is what He left heaven and came
into the world for; that is what He left the throne of God for--to
save sinners. "The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which
was lost." He did not come to condemn the world but that the world
through Him might be saved.

A wild and prodigal young man, who was running a headlong career to
ruin came into one of our meetings in Chicago. The Spirit of God got
hold of him. Whilst I was conversing with him, and endeavoring to
bring him to Christ, I quoted this verse to him.

I asked him: "Do you believe Christ said that?"

"I suppose He did."

"Suppose He did! do you believe it?"

"I hope so."

"Hope so! do you believe it? You do your work, and the Lord will do
His. Just come as you are, and throw yourself upon His bosom, and He
will not cast you out."

This man thought it was too simple and easy.

At last light seemed to break in upon him, and he seemed to find
comfort from it. It was past midnight before he got down on his knees,
but down he went, and was converted. I said:

"Now, don't think you are going to get out of the devil's territory
without trouble. The devil will come to you to-morrow morning, and say
it was all feeling; that you only imagined you were accepted by God.
When he does, don't fight him with your own opinions, but fight him
with John 6:37: 'Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.'
Let that be the 'sword of the Spirit.'"

I don't believe that any man ever starts to go to Christ, but the
devil strives somehow or other to meet him and trip him up. And even
after he has come to Christ, the devil tries to assail him with
doubts,
