Visitor
The word of God is comprehensive.
NO man can understand all of Gods
word. No mind however keen can
penetrate the fathomless depths Of
Gods great wonderful, marvellous,
revelation. The bible is a gold mine,
given by God to enrich the world. If
men are spiritual paupers they are so
because they have refused to accept
the book and the Christ of whom It
speaks. A mans heart may be com
pared to building. God almighty
built the great house, the soul, and
furnished 1t, and gave it to us, and
the dearest wish of His heart is to
come in as a guest to abide with us
for ever. God so loved the world that
He gaze His only begotten sor that
whosoever believeth in Him should
no. perish, but have everlasting life
He stands at the gateway of every
human life. He knocks at the door
of every hurlan heart Fling wide the
door, and say to the heavenly visitor,
come in thou blessed of the Lord.
Come in thou king Of kings and Lord
of Lords. Enth-one myself and
rule supreme in my life.
Man. the masterpiece Of the work
of God Almighty, made in the image
and likeness Of God, crowned with
glory and honor. The temple of che
Holy Ghost Jesus the Son of God, the
matchless friend of man, stands aat
the door md knocks. He stands out
side of your house. He knocks, you
heed not His presence nor respond to
His knocking, still he stands, still He
knocks, at the morning hour, at the
monday, at eventide, and at the mid
night hour. Open the door and let
Him in. For if any man will open the
door. He will come In. No touch of
Divine love so tender, and pathetic as
this. Jesus standing at the door. He
has waited long, He is waiting still.
With infinite patience for the hearts
door to open. No other friend you
treat so ILL.,
He longs to enter l will come in
and sup with you and you with me.
He says my son, my daughter, give
me thine heart.
I Oh, young man Oh, young woman,
open the door and let Him come in.
He recognizes your free moral
agency He has regard for your lib
erty. He will not come as burglar,
or as thief, and force an entrance,
but open the door, the heavenly Wis
itor will enter. In our great house of
which He has built and furnished we
have room for everything else. But
Jesus. the friend of the friendless,
tha home of the homeless
The evangelist made a most earn
est appeal for the unsave1 to open
their hearts, and let the dear Saviour
come in. You have more need OF Him
