The
Mighty Magnet
Charles
H. Spurgeon
"And
I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."
{Joh
12:32}
Come,
ye workers, be encouraged.
You
fear that you cannot draw a congregation.
Try
the preaching of a crucified, risen, and ascended Savior; for this is
the greatest "draw" that was ever yet manifested among men.
What
drew you to Christ but Christ?
What
draws you to Him now but His own blessed self?
If
you have been drawn to religion by anything else, you will soon be
drawn away from it;
but
Jesus has held you and will hold you even to the end.
Why,
then, doubt His power to draw others?
Go
with the name of Jesus to those who have hitherto been stubborn and
see if it does not draw them.
No
sort of man is beyond this drawing power.
Old
and young, rich and poor, ignorant and leaned, depraved or
amiable--all men shall feel the attractive force.
Jesus
is the one magnet.
Let
us not think of any other.
Music
will not draw to Jesus, neither will eloquence, logic, ceremonial, or
noise.
Jesus
Himself must draw men to Himself; and Jesus is quite equal to the
work in every case.
Be
not tempted by the quackeries of the day; but as workers for the Lord
work in His own way, and draw with the Lord's own cords.
Draw
to Christ, and draw by Christ, for then Christ will draw by you.
