Come & welcome to Jesus Christ, or, A plain and profitable discourse upon the…

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. No Sins of the Coming-Sinner, nor the Length of the Time that he hath abode in them, shall by any Means prevail with Jesus Christ to reject him. Coming - Sinner, thou art coming to a loving Lord Jesus!

Fourthly, These Words therefore are dropped from his Blessed Mouth, on purpose, that the Coming Sinner might take Encouragement to continue on his Journey, until he be come indeed to Jesus Christ. It was doubtless, a great Encouragement to Blind Bartlimeus, that Jesus Christ stood still, and called him, when he was crying; Jesus, thou Son of David, have Mercy on me: Therefore, 'tis said, He cast away his Garment, Rose up, and Came to Jesus, Mark 10. 46, &c. Now, if a Call to come hath such Encouragement in it, what is a Promise of Receiving such, but an Encouragement much more? And observe it, though he had a Call to come, yet not having a Promise, his Faith was forced to work upon a mere Consequence: Saying, He calls me; and surely, since he calls me, he will grant me my Desire. Ah! but Coming-Sinner, thou hast no need to go so far about, as to draw (in this Matter) Consequences; because thou hast plain Promises: And him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. Here is full, plain; yea, what Encouragement one can desire: For, suppose thou was admitted to make a Promise thy self, and ⟨p. 125⟩Christ should attest, that he would fulfil it upon the Sinner, that cometh to him; Couldest thou make a better Promise? Couldest thou invent a more full, free, or larger Promise? A Promise, that looks at the first Moving of the Heart after Jesus Christ! A Promise, that declares, yea, that engageth Christ Jesus to open his Heart, to receive the Coming-Sinner: Yea, further; A Promise, that Demonstrateth that the Lord Jesus is resolved freely to receive, & will in no wise cast out, nor means to reject the Soul of the Coming sinner. For all this lieth fully in this Promise, and doth naturally flow there-from. Here thou needest not make use of far-fetched Consequences, nor strain thy Wits, to force encouraging Arguments from the Text. Coming-Sinner, the Words are plain; And him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out.
