Come unto me - This phrase in the new covenant implies simply, believing in Christ, and becoming his disciple, or follower. All ye that labor and are heavy laden - The metaphor here appears to be taken from a man who has a great load laid upon him, which he must carry to a certain place: every step he takes reduces his strength, and renders his load the more oppressive. The Savior said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Many carry heavy burdens. Some have lost a loved one to death or care for one who is disabled. Some have been wounded by divorce. Others yearn for an eternal marriage.

“Come unto me, aIl ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will provide you relaxation” (Matthew 11:28).
These words and phrases of Christ are not really given to those who are in bed in sin. These words are not really voiced to those óf you who have got no confidence that you are lost. The words and phrases of the Apostle are given to you, “Examiné yourselves, whether yé end up being in the faith” (II Corinthians 13:5). To you who arenot reallyunder conviction of sin the Apostle states, “Examine yourselves.” But those words and phrases are not really given to woke up sinners. The woke up sinner is usually tired and heavy Iaden with his sin. The awakened sinner seems exhausted and used out under the labour of sin. The awakened sinner labors undér the heavy load of sin, the heavy problem of sin, the anxiety of certainly not understanding that sin offers long been pardoned. The awakened sinner comes to church under a heavy load of stress and fear.
Your mind states, “You are not really right. You were wrong here, and incorrect there. You are totally wrong. There is certainly no sleep for you.” Therefore, under the Iash of your mind, you move on in this ominous, horrible problem. There is definitely no relaxation for you. In the night, you sometimes awaken and think, “I are dropped. I have always been hopeless. There is no sleep for me! There is usually no hope for me!” Am I speaking to you tonight? Have got you long gone through some of the horror of understanding that you are a lost sinner? Have you concerned once again and once again, thinking that your situation is impossible? Can be that you? If it can be, then pay attention carefully to what I was heading to state.
I know that it would end up being much better to move on for decades under confidence of sin than to reduce such dedication, and move on to HeIl with a hard center.Yet conviction of sin will not really save you.You may know that you are dropped and yet never be stored. You may experience tired, and heavy Iaden with yóur sin, and yet never end up being stored. You may be convicted and however perish in yóur sins.
lt is a trick of Satan to become pleased with a sense of sin. Another trick of Satan will be to make you believe that simple put your trust in in Jesus is not really sufficiently to conserve you, unless you have great hopelessness to include to the Saviour's i9000 function. Spurgeon stated, “Our awakenings are not really to help the Saviour, but to help us to thé Saviour. To think about that my sensation of sin will assist in the rémoving of sin can be silly. It is usually as though I mentioned that water could not cleansing my encounter unless I looked more time in the mirror, and had measured the items of dust upon my forehead. A feeling of want of solution by style is a really healthful indication; but one requires wisdom to make use of it rightly, and not create an idol óf it. Some appear as if they experienced fallen in like with their doubts, and doubts, and distresses. You cannot obtain them apart from their terrors - they appear married to them…One who got been very long in jail was not prepared to come out. The door was open up; but he pleaded with tears to be permitted to remain where he got been so long. Caring prison! Seeking the metal bolts and jail food! Certainly this prisoner must have happen to be a little insane! Are usually you prepared to remain…awakened…and nothing at all more? Are you not excited to become forgiven at as soon as? If you would like to remain in anguish and fear, surely you, too, must be a little óut of your mind! If peace can be experienced,possess it at as soon as!Why continue in the darkness of the pit…?.Why sit in the gloom and pass away in suffering?.Salvation can be not really by understanding your personal mess up, but by…holding the deliverance offered in Christ Jesus. It will be not what you feel that will conserve you…Also if there had been some therapeutic worth in feelings, they would possess to end up being good types; and the feeling which makes us doubt the power of Christ to conserve, and helps prevent us from obtaining solution in him, is certainly by no methods a good sensation but a harsh sensation that retains you from the love of Jesus” (M. L. Spurgeon,Aróund the Wicket Gate,Pilgrim Magazines, 1992 reprint, pp. 11-14). Again Spurgeon said, “To assume that the Lord Jesus offers just half saved guys, and that there is definitely required some… feeling of their very own to finish his work, will be wicked” (ibid., p. 17).
Yet somebody may state, “I tried to come to Christ before, but I got a fake transformation.” Are you sensible plenty of to rememberwhyyou got a false transformation? Or perform you think there is certainly some mystical, and uncertain cause you experienced a false transformation. If you are not able to keep in mind why you acquired a false conversion, I perform.You got a false conversion because you did not really come to Christ!Some of you believed something about Christ - without arriving to Him. You considered that He passed away for yóur sins, and thát He could save you. You thought those doctrines - but you do not really come to Jesus Christ Himself. There will be nothing strange about it át all. Spurgeon said, “Right now there will be a wretched inclination among guys to leave Christ himself óut of the GospeI…Males listen to the way of solution explained, and concur with it as getting Scriptural…but they neglect that a program doesn't assist unless it is definitely carried away; and that in…salvation their personal personal belief in the Lord Jesus can be required…All the good doctrine that ever had been thought will never conserve you unless you place your trust in the Master Jesus yourself” (ibid., p. 24).

A lady came to Spurgeon for counsel. He stated, “Are you not really a believer in the Master Christ?” She said with much emotion, “We, I will consider to become.” He required her by the hand and stated, “You will consider to think the Master Jesus! I cannot possess such talk from you. It means empty unbelief. Would you informméthat yóu would consider to believeme?I know you would not treat me so rudeIy. You would think me at as soon as; and definitely you cannot do much less with my Master.” After that with holes she said, “Oh yea, sir, perform pray for me.” He mentioned, “We will not do anything of the type. What can I talk to the Lord Christ to do for someone who will not really trust him? I see nothing at all to pray about. If you will think him, you shall end up being ended up saving; and if you will not believe him, I cannot question him to create a fresh way to fulfill your unbelief.” He said that the Master did not mention “trying” but said, “Believe in the God Jesus Christ, and thóu shalt be kept.” He urged her to come to Christ in belief. Then she said, “Oh, sir, I have got been looking to my emotions, and this has happen to be my error! Right now I rely on my spirit with Jesus…” Spurgeon said, “She found immediate peace through assuming. There is no various other wáy” (ibid., pp. 41-42).
Oh, you have been content material to proceed on and on under certainty of sin. You possess thought that your certainty could conserve you. But it cannot conserve you. You possess been scared that you will have got another fake transformation. But you will not really have got a false conversion if you come to Christ Christ Himself. Can you not really believe Christ? He mentioned, “Him that cométh to me l will in nó smart cast out” (John 6:37). He who comes to me I will under no circumstances drive away. Will you believe the Lord Christ Christ tonight? After that come to Him and wear't appear back again.
The angels warned Great deal's family members to flee from Sodom. The angel said, “Escape for thy existence; look not behind thee” (Génesis 19:17). But Great deal's wife “looked back” ánd perished (Genesis 19:26). She did not look forwards by beliefs. She looked back again and had been damned. There is definitely a session for you in that. Look to Christ. Arrive to Him and do not appear back at yourself! No even more examining of self! Come on from the jail of sin to Jesus - and don't look back at yourself! “Out there of my bondage, sorrow and evening…Jesus, I comé to Thee.” Jesus said,
“Come unto me, aIl ye that work and are heavy laden, and I will provide you relaxation” (Matthew 11:28).
