“Will ye also go away?” — John 6:67
Many have forsaken Christ, and have walked no more with Him; but what reason have YOU to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Has not Jesus proved Himself all-sufficient? He appeals to you this morning — “Have I been a wilderness unto you?” When your soul has simply trusted Jesus, have you ever been confounded? Have you not up till now found your Lord to be a compassionate and generous friend to you, and has not simple faith in Him given you all the peace your spirit could desire? Can you so much as dream of a better friend than He has been to you? Then change not the old and tried for new and false. As for the present, can that…
compel you to leave Christ? When we are hard beset
with this world, or with the severer trials within the Church, we find it a
most blessed thing to pillow our head upon the bosom of our Saviour. This
is the joy we have to-day that we are saved in Him; and if this joy be
satisfying, wherefore should we think of changing? Who barters gold for
dross? We will not forswear the sun till we find a better light, nor leave our
Lord until a brighter lover shall appear; and, since this can never be, we
will hold Him with a grasp immortal, and bind His name as a seal upon our
arm. As for the future, can you suggest anything which can arise that shall
render it necessary for you to mutiny, or desert the old flag to serve under
another captain? We think not. If life be long — He changes not. If we are
poor, what better than to have Christ who can make us rich? When we are
sick, what more do we want than Jesus to make our bed in our sickness?
When we die, is it not written that “neither death, nor life, nor things
present, nor things to come, shall be able to separate us from the love of
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” We say with Peter, “Lord, to
whom shall we go?”
