And what say you to this, O sinners?
Suppose you saw the King of glory dying, and thus speaking to you; would you
believe on him? No, you would not, unless you believe on him now: for though he
is dead, he yet speaketh all this in the scripture; nay, in effect, says all
this in the words of the text, “The Son of man is come to seek and to save that
which is lost.” Do not therefore any longer crucify the Lord of glory. Bring
those rebels, your sins, which will not have him to reign over them, bring them
out to him: though you cannot slay them yourselves, yet he will slay them for
you. The power of his death and resurrection is as great now as formerly. Make
haste therefore, make haste, O ye publicans and sinners, and give the dear Lord
Jesus your hearts, your whole hearts. If you refuse to hearken to this call of
the Lord, remember your damnation will be just: I am free from the blood of you
all: you must acquit my Master and me at the terrible day of judgment. O that
you may know the things that belong to your everlasting peace, before they are
eternally hid from your eyes! Let all that love the Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity say, Amen.
