Secondly, As Jesus Christ has his Eye upon; so he hath his Heart open, to receive the Coming Sinner. This is verified by the Text: And him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out. This is also discovered by his preparing of the Way, in his making of it Easy (as may be) to the Coming-Sinner; which Preparation is manifest by them Blessed Words, I will in no wise cast out: Of which, more when we come to the Place. And while he was yet a great way off, his Father saw him, and had Compassion on him; and ran, and fell on his Neck, and kissed him (Luk. 15. 20.) All these Expressions do strongly prove, that the Heart of Christ is open to receive the Coming - Sinner.

Thirdly, As Jesus Christ has his Eye upon, and his Heart open to receive; so he hath resolved already, that nothing shall alienate his Heart from receiving the Coming-Sinner.

Coming - Sinner, thou art coming to a loving Lord Jesus!
