Charles Spurgeon, “Coming, Always Coming“
1 Peter 2:4, “Coming to Him”
This is an apt description of the whole of the Christian life. I consider it to be a complete picture of a saint, drawn with one stroke. In all circumstances and conditions, we are to come to Jesus alone.
The Christian life is begun, continued, and perfected altogether in dependence upon the Lord Jesus. He is both the author and the finisher of our faith.
If we begin aright, we begin with “Christ is all!”
Because If we live aright, we live with “Christ is all!”
And if we finish aright, we finish with “Christ is all!”
We are to be always coming to Him:
for spiritual nourishment;
needed grace;
for cleansing, guidance, support and comfort;
coming in fact, for everything.
–it is a continuous “coming to Jesus!”
I am persuaded that the only happy, holy, safe way for a Christian to live, is to live in daily dependence upon Jesus. And to come to Him at all times, in all respects, under all circumstances, for everything!
May it be the habit of our lives to be incessantly coming to our loving and merciful Savior.
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. And When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior!” Isaiah 43:1-3
