Topic: COME, YE SINNERS
Read: Mathew 11:28-30
Daily Bible Study: Ex. 13-14; Ps. 16
“Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy harden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28).
Joseph Hart who was born in London in 1712 was said to have resisted all attempts to become a Christian while he was young. To him, the faith made no sense. He even wrote a pamphlet called “The unreasonableness of religion” in which he criticized the messages of Gospel ministers. However, his life changed in 1757 after feeling convicted during a service in the Moravian chapel in London. He accepted Christ and became a born again Christian.
Driven by his own faith, he wrote several hymns. One of the first was: “come ye sinners, poor and needy”. From his own experience, he understood how many people resist salvation. But he also knew that Jesus was ready to save the weak, wounded, sick and sore. All they had to do was respond to His call. This hymn was popular in camp meetings on the American frontier in the nineteenth century; it was sung as people came forward who had been convicted of sin.
Today, Jesus calls you to come to him just as you are. No matter what you have done, or what problems you face, he will welcome you, take away your burdens, forgive your sins, and save your soul. It’s never too late and you are never too dirty to be cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb, all you need do is believe and come! Our Lord Jesus Christ is waiting with open arms to receive every sinner that comes to Him. Spread this good news to all.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You believing that You are my Saviour and that You died to set me free. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and use me to bring the lost ones to salvation. I pray in Your holy name – Amen.
