Our right to go to the Lord full and clear. It is irrespective of anything in us. It presupposes need and sin and struggles; nothing more.

The invitation is wide and free. It takes us just as we are, annexing no restriction and demanding no prerequisite. It does not fence itself around with conditions, as if fearful too many might avail themselves of it or as if desirous to keep off the unqualified and the unworthy. It makes no exceptions as to previous life or present character; it welcomes the unworthiest. It forbids none. It leaves no room for suspicion on the part of any. “Come, and come at once; come, and come boldly” is its message to all; for, him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Weary soul, come at once and be blessed! You do not need to wait as if the Lord Jesus was not quite willing. Hurry and take hold of the promise by faith. He will show you His love.

About the Author

In 1808, Horatius Bonar was born into a family of several generations of ministers of the gospel. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh and was ordained in 1838. As a young pastor at North Parish, Kelso, he preached in villages and farmhouses, proving himself to be a comforter and guide. In 1843, he joined 450 other pastors to form the Free Church of Scotland after the “Disruption.” Horatius Bonar wrote numerous books, tracts, periodicals, and more than 600 hymns. He believed that people needed truth, not opinions; God, not theology; and Christ, not religion. From his first sermon to his last, he ended with “In such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.”
