Resting In Him

All Comers to God Welcomed!
by Charles H. Spurgeon
“Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” — John 6:37
CHRIST will not die in vain. His Father gave him a certain number to be the
reward of his soul travail, and he will have every one of them, as he said,
“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.” Almighty grace shall
sweetly constrain them all to come. My father gave me recently some
letters which I wrote to him when I began to preach. They are almost
boyish epistles; but, in reading through them again, I noticed in one of
them this expression, “How I long to see thousands of men saved; but my
great comfort is that some will be saved, must be saved, shall be saved, for
it is written, ‘All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.’”
The question for each of you to ask is, “Do I belong to that number?” I am
going to preach with the view of helping you to find out whether you
belong to that “all” whom the Father gave to Christ, the “all” who shall
come to him. We can use the second part of the verse to help us to
understand the first. “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out,”
will explain our Savior’s previous words, “All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me.”
