RESIDENTS NEVER CAST OUT

To be a resident of Broadstone and to have a place of your own knowing you will never be cast out brings peace and security to our lives today. Jesus gave us a promise like that two thousand years ago and it is still true today about our Eternal Residence.

"... him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out" John 6:37 AV

Is there any instance of our Lord's 'casting out' a coming one? If so, I would like to know of it; but there has been none, and there never will be. Amongst the lost souls in hell, there is not one that can say "I went to Jesus and He refused me". It is not possible that you or I should be the first to whom Jesus shall break His Word. Let us not entertain so dark a suspicion.

Suppose we go to Jesus now about the evils of the day. Of this we may be sure - He will not refuse us audience or cast us out. Those of us who have often been and those who have never gone before - let us go together and we shall see that He will not shut the door of Grace in the face of any one of us.

"This Man receiveth sinners" but He repulses none. We come to Him in weakness and sin with trembling faith, small knowledge and slender hope, but He does not cast us out. We came by prayer and that prayer broken; with confession, and that confession faulty; with praise, and that praise far short of His merits; but yet He receives us. We come diseased, polluted, worn out and worthless; but He will in no wise cast us out. Let us come to Him today about our Eternal Residence, who never cast us out.
