THE GRACIOUS INVITATION
“Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said,”
“Come unto Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
Gracious “word” of a gracious Savior, on which the soul may confidingly repose, and be at peace forever! It is a present rest — the rest of grace as well as the rest of glory. Not only are there signals of peace hung out from the walls of Heaven — the lights of Home glimmering in the distance to cheer our footsteps; but we have the “shadow” of this “great Rock!” in a present “weary land.” Before the Throne above is there “the sea of glass,” without one rippling wave; but there is a have neven on earth for the tempest-tossed, “We who have believed DO enter into rest.”
