It is the Son of Man who in all things has acted for men, who is ',' come to seek and to save that which was lost." What an attractive Saviour thou hast to deal with ! God is a consuming fire : thou canst not, O guilty one, go to him : but Jesus is fhy brother, thy friend, the Friend of Sin ners, who received them and ate with them ; and he it is, though great as he is, who is *' come to seek and to save that which was lost." Go to him without fear or tremblirg; ere the sun goes down and ends this day of mercy, go and tell him thou hast broken the Father's laws— tell him that thou art lost, and thou needest to be saved ; tell him that he is a man, and appeal to his manly heart, and to his brotherly sympathies. Pour out thy broken heart nt his feet ; let thy soul flow over in his presence, and I tell thee he cannot cast thee away ; though thy prayer be feeble as the spark in the flax, he will not quench it j and though thy heart be bruised like a reed, he will not break it. May the Holy Spirit bless you with a desire to go to God through Jesus Christ ; and encourage you to do so by showing that lie is meek and lowly of heart, gentle and tender, and full of pky. I pass on to our third point, and that also is full of comfort, though I will only touch upon it. You that seek salvation should joyfully observe how our Lord's past action is described : " The Son of Man is come " Note, not " shall come." but "is come." His coming is a fact accomplished. Your salva tion, if you believe in Jesus, is comparatively an easy matter : he has but to apply that which is already prepared, and hand over to your faith that which he has laid by in store. The last point is to be this— there is much of deepest comfort in the description which IS HERE GIVEN OF OUR LORD'S WORK. He IS come •' to seek and to save ; " the enterprise is one, but has two brunches.
