Well, we. That was a blessing, wasn't it?
Was the place. Wish I could sing like that, but
that was a real blessing. May the Lord keep us near the
cross. And if you're all converted
tonight, well, I want to tell you that's the place we want to
get you to, for that's the place you need.
You need to come and put your faith and trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ. We're singing earlier on at the
start of the meeting. I believe Jesus saves and his
blood was just waiter on the snow.
And if you're all converted, well, that's the place that you
need to come to and you need to come to the Lord Jesus Christ.
So thank you very much for coming along tonight to support
us here. This is actually my last night
in the mission because I have other engagements on Sunday away
in Oma. And so Carl will be coming along
to to bring an end to the mission.
So I really enjoyed it here. We're bringing no doubt.
Thanks for everybody. Thank you very much, Mr Mcglock
and decision of having us here at this particular time and all
your support as well. And it's really encouraging for
the preachers when people come along and to hear the preaching
of the gospel. Now we're going to turn in
John's Gospel Chapter 6 and I going to put this week speaker
on me. John's Gospel is well known to
all. Of us.
And the chapter 6, we'll just take time to read our verse.
Time is going on, which it will be bit tonight, but so John's
Gospel. Chapter 6.
Wonderful words. Of the Lord Jesus Christ here in
verse 37 and he says. All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me. And him that cometh to me I
will. And no wise cast out.
We have here the assurance of God's unfailing welcome, because
the Lord. Jesus, said him that cometh unto
me, I will. And no wise I will no wise cast
out. So let's look to the Lord for
his help here tonight. Father in heaven, we thank you
for the blessing of being here already.
We thank you for our sister's ministry and song.
We thank you Lord, even in Psalm tonight we have been to the
cross. Jesus, keep me near the cross.
Keep this congregation near the cross.
And if there's anyone here tonight and.
Are far away. From the cross of Christ, if
never come to Thee, we pray tonight they will come and put
their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus.
I need your help. I pray for help around the word
of God and bless the word of God tonight Lord, I pray to the
salvation of souls in Jesus name, Amen.
Amen. I'm sure.
You have a favourite verse of the Bible.
I'm not going to ask you put your.
Hand up and ask you for that verse.
I'm not going to. Ask you tonight to to shout it
out. What are tremendous verses in
the Bible and they are favourite verses of people?
This particular. Verse in John 6.
Verse 37 was. A favourite verse of a man that
you've heard of a pastor, John Bunyan.
Now he was born in November 1620.
Eight in a little. Village of Batford, like many
parents of his day, they were in poverty.
But I don't know how they did it.
But he said himself, it pleased God to put it into their hearts
to put me to school, to learn me both to read and write.
So the parents said, hold on, we're in poverty.
We've got to make sure. We've got to make sure that he
learns to read and write. Well, my children were growing
up. They were like myself, some of
the boys that weren't interested in school.
I should tell you what, boys. Learn to read and write and
count. OK, you see that other stuff?
Don't worry. Anything about it you learn how
to read, to write and to count. And so John Bunyan, off the
school he went. But he tells us, even as a
young. Fella, there were.
Very few people his equal for cursing and swearing and lying
and blaspheming the holy name of God.
Even as a young person you do not, I said tonight, you do not
have to be old to sin. Even as a young fellow, there's
hardly anyone, he says, his equal.
As he lied and blasphemed. And swore.
And he cursed God. Well, for all of that.
God dealt with him, and this man became.
Greatly troubled about his sin, and he had terrible thoughts.
He had terrible thoughts about hell and he had terrible
thoughts about the fire of hell. Some people say, oh, don't
mention hell, don't preach hell. Read the Bible.
You'll read about the Lord Jesus Christ.
He was a hell fire preacher. Well, this young man growing up,
now he's getting older, he came under great conviction of sin
and he'll hold on a man in the sight of a holy God.
I know where I'm going to. I'm going to go to hell.
And he was worried. He was really troubled.
Is there anybody tonight in the meeting troubled?
Is there 1 troubled in this meeting?
We sing at Hymns Centre How thy heart is troubled.
Shall I want? That I hope there is hope.
There's more. He was troubled, of course.
He gets married and all of these things and he's going about life
and he's playing games and it's recorded as he was playing the
game and it was called cat, whatever that.
Entailed. I'm not really.
Sure. And as he was playing this game,
a voice that suddenly endured from having into my soul was
said, Wilt thy leave thy sins and go to heaven, or have thy
sins and go to hell? It's just as if a voice came
down from heaven. What are you going to do, John?
Bunyan, are you going? To leave your sins and you'll go
to heaven. Are you going?
To keep your sins, have your sins and go to hell.
Well, if he was. Troubled beforehand things.
Are worse he even. Looked in the animals, he says.
He looked in the animals and he even envied the animals because
they were not troubled. They're right in the feet of the
cows and all the rest were eating their grass and going
about. They didn't seem to have a cure
in the world. And he was a burden and.
He was a troubled man. How can I be saved?
How can I get rid of this burden?
How can I get right with God? These things were pressing in on
his heart and they were pressing in his life and and so he was in
Batford and he came across some ladies and this particular verse
came to him one day and him the cometh all to me.
I will in no wise cast out. And he says, Ohh, what did I see
in that blessed 6th of John? O the comfort that I had from
this word, Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out.
Here's what I've got to do. He says Here's the only thing
I've got to do. I've got to come to Jesus, am I
right? I've got to come to Jesus,
filthy, dirty, guilty. I've got to come to him.
And if I come to him, he and that kills me out that
wonderful. I want to tell you he came and
the Lord took him in. And if you come tonight in this
meeting for coming to the end of the mission, saying the mission
for myself. But if you come tonight in this
meeting to Christ, they take you.
They take you. I want to say three things.
I want to be quick tonight, but I want to think about the step
that's needed for salvation. And this step is necessary.
I want you to see here, here is a step that is necessary for if
anyone, if anyone wants to be saved and wants to be forgiven,
you must take a step and you must come to Jesus, him that
cometh unto me. It is of the utmost importance
for the Sinner to come to Christ, and the emphasis here,
the emphasis here is me. That's what the Lord.
Jesus said you must come to me. It's not that you would.
Come to anyone else. Anyone to church to font to
Mary? Muhammad to Buddha.
But he says to me. And that's very, very important
because here's his because the only Saviour is the Lord Jesus
Christ. Remember in first John 4 verse
14, we have said, as John has said, and we do testify, he's
making a testimony that the Father sent the Son.
Notice to be the saviour of the world, not one of the saviours,
but he is the saviour of the world.
And Peter said in Acts 4 and verse 12, neither is there
salvation any other, for there's no other name under heaven given
among men whereby we must be saved.
And he's preaching urge to religious people.
But listen, there's no other name, there's no other Saviour.
And here the Lord Jesus Christ tells us in John 6, You've got
to take a step and come to me. He must come.
To me, one particular man, Robert Brown, says God.
Never saves A spectator. He's no good looking at Christ.
It's no good listening as any things are important, listening
to the gospel. No doubt about this tonight.
That's why we have the mission and the preaching of the gospel.
But it's no good just sitting listening.
If you want to be saved, you must come to Jesus Christ.
This step is necessary. Think about the.
Necessary if you. Send the simplicity.
Of a step as. Well, because we find here that
here something. You can understand.
You come to Jesus. I like it when I meet.
People in the doors and they're said to me, I'm trying this and
I'm trying not to. I'm doing these wee things and I
listen, all you've got to do, cut out all the middle men, cut
them out. And I'm talking here really
about Roman Catholics. When I meet them.
Cut out all the middle men, go straight to the Lord Jesus.
Christ, that's. Just implicit the gospel, and
you've got to come to him and come freely to him.
And you read that verse yourself.
You read it unsaved person here tonight in this meeting, him
that cometh unto me, I asked you the question, Do you see in this
verse anything that you've got? To bring to Christ, do you see?
Anything. Is he asking you to bring money?
Is he asking you to bring your works?
Is he asking you to bring deeds? Is he asking you to bring
anything to him? No, You come.
Freely to Christ you just come, though, remember, says in
desire. 55 verse one. Whoever you wonder thirsteth,
come ye to the waters. And he and he hath no money.
What he's put in his hands, in his pocket, he has no money.
Come ye buy and eat. Ye come, buy wine and milk,
without money, without praise. Here's the wonderful truth of
the gospel of the Bible. Salvation's free.
It's free gift. Jesus come to Christ and to come
freely and there's people trying to bring this and they're trying
to bring that to base off. I said to you tonight they're
all converted in this meeting. You can give nothing.
You can give nothing for this salvation.
It's free. Jesus pet it all upon the cross,
that's. Why he was saying about him
nothing in my hands they bring, but simply to the crossing like
that, nothing. He just called.
That's what he says. It's him that.
Cometh unto me He's coming freely, and coming by faith,
because we think. Here.
That we come by. Faith we we cannot see the.
Lord Jesus Christ, we know that, of course.
He's in heaven. He came, he bled and died.
Suffered on the cross? He's sitting at the right.
Hand of the throne of God, he said, we know.
How do I come? How do I come to the Lord Jesus
Christ? I know how to come to this
church. I know I drive up the road, I
come through the gates, come through the door into the pure
and all of it. But how?
How can I come to the Lord Jesus Christ?
You come to him. By faith, come to him.
By faith, he's God, He's listening, He's calling, he's.
Calling you to come to him. Come by faith.
Turn to him, Turn to him and come to the Lord Jesus.
See his Spurgeon says. We come to his blood to be
washed, to his righteousness to be cleansed, to his wounds to be
healed, to his life for a life eternal, and to His death for
the death of our sins. We come.
We come to Christ. We come faithfully to Christ.
And if you ever want to us see it, you come by.
Faith to Jesus, just turn, come to pray to him, and you come
forsaken. Because the very word, the Lord
Jesus. Here speaks come to him means.
That there's got to be separation, there's got to be a
change. And I want to mean by this to
come to Jesus Christ the Sinner. Must leave her sins.
I would never preach. I'll uncertainly call and most
of my life would never preach. Just stay in your sin and just
start going to church and just amend a few things.
In your life, that is not the gospel, that's not the message
of salvation, the Lord Jesus himself said, and Luke 13 verse
5, I say, tell you nay, but except you repent, you shall all
likewise perish. And the cry of the gospel, it
says repent. Oh, you said to me tonight.
Well, what does repent? Mean it means you.
Turn right around. You're going this way in your
life. You're going after sin, loving
sin, running after sin. And then you turn right around,
you have turned your back on it, and you've come to Jesus Christ
right around. This is what?
Repentance means. And I want to tell you tonight,
this is what it means to come. To Jesus Christ.
He must leave, must forsake your sin, and you must leave your
sin, whatever that may be, if that is holding you back
tonight. This is the world, the things of
the world, the pleasures of the world, the drink of the world,
the immorality of the world, the drugs of the world.
Heaven that cometh unto me, you must leave your sin.
Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to leave your
unsafe company of friends? Are you willing to leave that
corruption is in your life? If you want to be saved, he must
calm down. He must leave these.
Places the pubs, the downsalls, the House of Iniquity.
Member says aside. 55 Verse 7 Let the wicked forsake his way.
On the righteous man his. Thoughts and let him turn on the
Lord. He will have mercy on him and to
our God, for he will have been the important Let the wicked
forsake his ways to get away from the world and get away from
sin and come. To Jesus Christ, so you've got
to come, you must leave. There must be the forsaken of
sin, the practise of sin and their life.
Martin Lloyd Jones says Christianity starts with
repentance. So we've got to repent.
People believe in our self righteousness.
In other words what I mean by that.
Just got a wee drink here. They must leave every false
hope. That they're clinging to, to
save them. There are people.
Holding on what we tell you tonight.
The rotten planks they're clinging on, hoping that'll keep
me afloat. Maybe something in their?
Church and maybe something they're doing in the community.
I I'm not against you trying to help me.
Now none of us would ever get up and preach against people who's
trying to help you. But if you're trying to do deeds
and you're trying to do works, they float you the whole way to
heaven. Of course we will preach against
that because the Bible says it. It says.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
law. And you can just.
Underline those two words that I've done here in my notes.
It's not all right if I let go of that plank of works, deeds,
church, whatever it is not. Save you forsaking all I take
them. It's Christ and Christ alone as
saves and you must let go of every false hope that they're
holding on to and you must cling to Jesus Christ and you come to
him and he saves. This is what it means to come to
Jesus Christ just. The way you are.
That's the way you come though. All your sin come to Jesus
Christ. That's what John Bunyan did one
day. This tax came with power into
his heart. Him that cometh unto me I will a
no wise cast out. And dear.
Friends, he came. To Jesus Christ, that's how he
came. That's a step you must take.
I'm not asked you to get up tonight and walk up to this
church and get down, but if you want.
To you're more than welcome some of the wise he can have it shot
with you, but if you want to be safe.
You've got to come. You've got to come to Jesus
Christ. We're not asking you to come to
a church. You're welcome here any time at
all, but no doubt about that, and I'm sure you're felt.
Really. Welcome, and the hospitality and
everything in here has been tremendous over the last couple
of weeks, but for you to perceive, you must come to
Jesus. You must him not cometh unto me.
Would you come to Jesus Christ tonight?
You've heard the Gospel, maybe for years.
And. You're selling your sin.
Here's a step they must take. They must take.
Come to Jesus. Come to them.
Then I. Want to think about the scope of
salvation? And it says all.
The Father giveth me, so come to me.
And there's theological lessons here, but those who's given to
Christ, we know that. Of course.
Well, when John Bunny was asked the question and they asked him
the question, what him is he referring to?
Well, he answered very well. You know how he answered that
question. It's him the cometh.
That's how you answer. That's a good.
Way of getting out of it, isn't it theological doctrine and so
on. What him is it talking about?
It's him that cometh and that's the difference in us.
There are people and carried off and they won't come and that's
maybe you tonight in this meeting.
You will not come to Christ. Christ says they will not come
to me, that they might have life, but it's Him that cometh.
That's that's. What we're talking about.
I do glad it's him. The ladies right here, by the
way, don't don't think the ladies are not unless they are
of course, in this text as. Well, let me.
Just say a number of things very quickly here because time's
going on tonight. The Sinner can come despite his
race, doesn't matter where he's from.
Africa Indian race Chinese the white man black.
Man, it doesn't matter I've had the opportunity and and some
brother here beside. Me as well have been in
different countries preaching Jesus Christ.
It's been wonderful to stand in the Philippines, to stand in
Kenya, to stand in the Uganda, Australia, It's this game, it's
in the Commonwealth, it's in the Commonwealth.
There's nobody. I didn't say just only people
from Ulster can come and they can come.
And the people over the border, they can come to Christ.
Doesn't matter who it is tonight, it's him that cometh
unto me. And you read the Bible.
In Revelation Chapter 7. And verse 9 And John said, And
after this I beheld, although a great multitude, which no man
could number notice. Of all nations and kindreds and
people and tongues stood before the throne, there's a whole what
they say, only 144,000's going to heaven.
But we're not going down that route.
Tonight you turn into revelation. 7 verse 9.
There's a great multitude which no man could number.
There were before the throne. They were in heaven of all
nations. All the people, the jungles
came, there were people all over the world came, Different
people, different cultures, different conversations, but
they came to Jesus Christ, you see?
And you can come. And you can come, friends,
tonight it's in the cometh. The senator can come.
Despite their rebellion and sentence, it's in the cometh.
There's no limit. Put in these words.
I I want to tell you tonight the violence offender can come.
Sometimes we're arson outreach work.
I'll ask you a question. Can the murderer be saved?
Some people ask that. Question I I say yes they can.
Oh boy, some people doesn't really like that.
I said, well you ask me the question, Teaching of the Bible,
the blood. Of Jesus Christ, His Son
cleanses us from all sin. And the murder canvasser of
Manasseh, Second Kings 21, verse 16.
Moreover, Manasseh shed in us some blood very much till he had
filled Jerusalem from one end to another.
Beside his sinners, so one. But he filled the streets of
Jerusalem with blood. Second Chronicles 33.
He's in prison. He's on to conviction.
He lifts his voice. He cries for mercy and.
God hurt him, God save them. The mortar can come the hardest
can come. The faith can come the dire.
Faith, he'd lived this whole life, this whole life without
Christ. He had won foot me until he say
in the grave, he's about to die, he's about to be cast down into
hell and he looked at Jesus Christ and he says, Lord,
Remember Me when I come as into thy Kingdom.
And the Lord Jesus said, verily I say unto thee, today thou
shall be with me in paradise. He lived the whole life without.
Jesus Christ, but when he came to Jesus Christ, the Lord
saithan, maybe there's people here tonight and you and you're
getting on in years. I think we all are.
By the way, we're not picking anybody out in this statement
tonight, but you can come to Jesus.
You live the life without him. For Jack, you know, it's
Chandler Cometh. Are you a vile Sinner?
Maybe you've commit murder. I I don't know, I don't think, I
do not know. I don't have to know God knows
the wickedness of your sin tonight that's in the cometh
devil possess people read about legion legion that man who was
filled with many devils. He came to Jesus Christ and of
course, Corinthians 6 verse 11 and 12 a great list of sinners,
homosexuals leswith. They're all in that particular
text, but they came to Jesus Christ and their friends.
The Lord give them. Mercy, it's in the cometh.
Let your sin hold you back from coming to the Lord Jesus Christ
despite your rebellion of sin. Despite your religion.
Whatever it may be. There are people bowed down
tonight before idols all over the whole world tonight and if
they only turn from their sins and and turn from idol their
idols and come to Christ, Christ will accept.
Them force. Thessalonians One, verse 9.
For they themselves. Show of us what manner entered
and we had on to them. Notice the words how you turn to
God from. Idols, they serve the living.
Through God, they're idolaters. That we should be they.
Were bowed down before idols. But they could come to Jesus,
and that's what I want to tell you here tonight.
It's him the cometh this way of all.
Excuses some that send old I'm too old.
It's him, the cometh. Some would say I'm too young.
It's him, the cometh. I'm too poor.
It's him the cometh, and too bad him the cometh.
Listen, this is what it says. You said I never went to church
in my life. It's him that cometh.
Here's a. Scope of this great gospel.
It's him that cometh. And that's the matter we
preached to you the last couple of weeks to come to Jesus
Christ. It's him that cometh, all right?
Fear about your side. I don't have to know you.
You don't have to tell any of us.
We're not priests. We know.
And in the sense of Roman Catholic priest, you don't have
to make any confession to us at all.
You'll make it to God. Come to Jesus Christ.
That's him that cometh unto me. This is the words of the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and shed
his blood. That's him that cometh.
Here cometh unto me I want to say last about the security of
salvation. He's finding this word.
In the cometh unto me I have no wise cast out.
Now the Greek Mr McLaughlin was a Greek scholar, I think.
Mr Maxwell here. There's a double negative here
that tells us in this listen, I will never, never cast you out.
Isn't that wonderful? I.
Never cast you out. What about if I fail and fall?
I'll cast you out. When you come to die and you
feel old and weak, I never cast you out.
When you come and stand before judgement before me or down the
line and not cast you out. I will never, I will never,
never cast you out. Security of salvation is found
at his word. And where?
Titus One, verse 2. And hope of eternal life with
God that cannot. Lie.
Promised before the world. God.
Does God have lies? Does Christ have lies?
Not a bit of it. The Devil.
'S a liar. But the Lord Jesus, He's the
truth and he is the life. And John Bunyan said, if ever
Satan and I just strive for any word.
Of God in all our life, it was this good word, as if Christ was
at one end of it. He says, and I at the other.
But praise God, he said, praise God.
I got, I got, I overcame him, I got sweetness from it.
And I said to my wife, now I know, I know, I know.
What did he know? He knew he had come to Jesus and
he had been saved. You see, the security is found.
In his word here. Sin the cometh I will and no.
Wise cast out you come to Christ tonight you leave your sins if I
already. Indicated here tonight.
You repent and come to. Jesus Christ, just the way you
are, and he'll bring you in. He'll accept you.
That's what. He's saying you.
Don't deserve it, not does any of us.
Is there anyone here tonight which stand and says well I
deserved? To be brought in, not one of us.
Saved by grace alone and I cometh out at me.
I will and no wise can't say that's a promise now that's a
promise not coming from the preachers tonight.
It's coming from Christ. You come to him, he'll save you.
There you are. That takes away all your should
take away all your fears. Tonight should take away all
your doubts. Tonight it should take.
Away all your excuses tonight. All excuses is gone.
Colin preached the excuses last night.
All excuses is cast. To the one side come the Jesus
Christ, and He bring you that wonderful, and also it is found
in His work. Remember, it's his work.
To save sinners, for the Son of man has come to seek, and to see
of that which has lost. Luke 19, verse 10.
How can he? How can he?
Turn away. A poor, trembling, repentant
soul that comes to Jesus who's repented from their sin, and
they come to Jesus Christ and they're calling on to him.
Lord Jesus, I want you to save me.
I want your blood to wash away my sin.
I want you to bring me to heaven.
How? How can Christ turn away such a
person? He can't.
Because it is his work to save such a person.
That's his work. What hands would he cast him out
with? Hold on.
Neil pierced hands. Neil pierced hands.
He died for sinners like you. He shed his blood for sinners
like you. Heaven would mourn if he did
this. Hell will rejoice if he did
this. Him that cometh unto me I will.
And no wise cast out as John Bunyan lay on his deathbed, his
last words war. Take me, for I come to thee.
I want to tell you tonight the Lord took on as him that cometh
unto me, and no wise cast out and the Lord will save you if
you're all converted tonight in this meeting, it's time to
settle this matter about your soul and come to Jesus Christ.
Just come the way you are and repent of yourself and put your
faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We sang on him tonight. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come on to me and rest. Lay down I weary one, lay down
thy head upon my breast. And then he says, I came to
Jesus as I was weary, worn and sad.
I founded him a resting place. And he has made me glad.
I want to tell you the happiest day of my life was the day I
came to Jesus. That's it.
I have many happy days after I had to say that.
Yet married, children were born, all those things.
But the happiest day of my life, I came to Jesus.
I came the way I was and the minister who led me the.
Lord told me after. They could smell the booze off.
Me off me. From the night before.
But I want to tell you I came to them just the way I was in my
50s and I came to them and he took me in.
I took John Bunyan in I. Could go round to.
Church tonight, and I'm not going to ask you.
So stand on your feet if you're seeing, and you'll stand.
Up and just no, he took me in. He took me in near his tonight
and said he took me in. On save tonight he'll take you
in. It's him that cometh unto me.
I will. And no wise cast out.
Come to Jesus. That's it.
Come and trust them and he'll save you tonight.
And all your sins will be forgiven.
And you'll get everlasted. Life now here.
Why would you not come? Why would you not come?
What's holding you? There it is, There is.
We've brought before you here tonight, in the word of the
living God, the assurance of gods on failing.
Welcome. Christ.
'S on failing welcome. Why do not come and trust them
as him that cometh unto me. I will, and no wise can
straight. And I hope that my God has
spoken to you. If you have anything to say to
see me after meeting. See the brother here as well.
You can settle the mother up at the front of the church here.
Elders of you out the back having their supper.
Settle this mother tonight. Sea of disgrace is free.
Come to Jesus Christ. Don't put it off to another
mission another time. Behold, now is accepted.
Time, Behold, now is the day of salvation.
There's no better time than now to be saved.
We trust the Lord has spoken to your heart, and I pray tonight
you'll come and put your faith and trust in our great Saviour.
So we're going to sing.
