The Gentle word of Christianity

Come unto me. Matthew 11:28
 "THE cry of the Christian religion is the gentle word, "Come." 
 
Jesus is the good Shepherd going before His sheep, bidding them follow Him, and ever leading them onwards with the sweet word, "Come." 
The law shows the distance which there is between God and man; the gospel bridges that chasm, and brings the sinner across it.

As a mother puts out her finger to her little child and woos it to walk by saying, "Come," even so does Jesus. 
He will always be ahead of you, bidding you follow Him as the soldier follows his captain.
 
 You will be longing for His second advent; you will be saying, "Come quickly, even so come Lord Jesus.."
Charles Spurgeon
