Christ to be had What would the Damned give to hear such news as this what would they give They would give ten thousand Worlds if they had them for one offer of Christ O what a prize hast thou put into thy Hands Christ offers himself to thee in the ministry of his Word He calls thee by his Gospel He beseeches thee to come to him 2 Cor. 5. 20. He promises graciously to receive thee Stands with open Arms ready to embrace thee if thou wilt come John 6. 37. He waits for thy coming Isa 30 18. Christ expects your coming now complains of your not coming Rom. 10. 21. Mat. 23. 37. Nay Christ mourns and grieves when you come not Luke 19. 41 42. Young one Christ looks for thy coming at this call Wilt thou disappoint him Wilt thou put him to grief You will not grieve a dear Friend And will you grieve such a Friend as Christ is who would save you from Hell It is more then all the dearest and best Friends you have in the World can do for you and will you grieve him Remember this will grieve you at last and torment you too When God himself shall come and plead against you as Psalm 81. 10 11. I would have saved you but ye would not Think Soul how this will torment thee O! Christ would have saved me but I would not be saved Christ would have pitied me but I would not pity my self I would have my Will tho' I have woe I would not be saved I would be damned O that I had never been born O that I had been a Dog a Toad any thing in the World rather then a Man or Woman Ah Soul away to Christ never bring such torment upon thy self by refusing Jesus Christ If thou go Christless after all this take notice of these five Aggravations more that will attend thy Misery 1. The offers of Christ will exceedingly aggravate thy Misery This will torment thee to consider Christ offered himself to me and I would not have him Christ called after me and I mad wretch would not I would none of his Counsels I would not chuse the fear of the Lord Prov. 1. 20 to 30. Christ knock'd at my Door and I would not open to him Rev. 3. 20. Oh horrour horrour horrour 2. The Promises and threatnings of the Gospel will lie against you Christ in the Gospel promises Salvation to you if you will come to him threatens Damnation upon your not coming John 3. 16 18 19. Mark 16. 16. Now this will torment thee that none of these would prevail with thee 3. The incoms of other young Ones will lie against thee Other young Ones of your Brothers Sisters or play fellows have heard and obeyed the voice of Christ and come in to him and you stood it out in the hardness of your Hearts They have left their Pleasures and Vanities and have given up themselves to Christ's Holy Ways they endured the Mocks and Scoffs and Reproaches of the World but you would not and therefore must be the laughing-stock of Devils for ever O how will this torment you to think such such ones came in to Christ such young Ones are got into Heaven and I am shut out I am tormented in these flames Mat. 25. 8. Luk. 16. 22 23 24 25. 4. The Blood of Christ will lie against you O tremble to think of it It will be a dreadful thing for the Blood of Christ to cry against thee This hath a loud Cry God told Cain Gen. 4. 10. The Voice of thy Brother's Blood cryeth to me If the Blood of Abel cried so loud against Cain that he cried out hideously My punishment is greater than I can bear how terrible will be the cry of the Blood of Christ against thee If thou comest not into Christ thou art a Murderer of him When Peter told his Hearers of it They were pricked at the Heart Acts 2. 36 37. Oh Soul old or young may this prick thy Heart now and drive thee to Christ This will be thy Eternal Mercy But if it doth not it will be thy Eternal Misery If thou refusest Jesus Christ thou art not only a Murderer of him a Crucifier of Christ again as if it were not enough that he was crucified once but that he must be crucified again by you Heb. 6. 6. But thou art a trampler upon the Blood of Christ Heb. 10. 28 29. If Christ should come in Person visibly to you and should tell you you are a Sinner and must perish for ever if you have not a Remedy and there is none in Heaven or Earth can help you besides my self But alas poor Soul I pity thee my Bowels yern towards thee O come unto me here is my Blood my Love my Benefits Heaven and Glory all thine And now thou shouldest instead of admiring his Grace Love and closing with him take him and Spit in his Face Buffet him Trample upon him Now Soul Young or Old this is the very Case Christ in his infinite Pity offers Himself his Blood his Love to thee a poor sinking perishing Sinner and if thou refusest him this is the very Sence the very Judgment that God himself makes of thy refusal and he hath set it down in this Text upon Record thou tramplest under foot the Blood of the Son of God Mark farther what will be thy Punishment for this Sin He that sinned against Moses's Law died without Mercy how much sorer Punishment shall he have that hath troden under foot the Blood of Christ You shall have a sorer Punishment then he that hath sinned against Moses's Law He died without Mercy yet you shall have a sorer Judgment What will that be Enough one should think to fright the Sinner out of his Sins to Christ It is certain it will be woful but Mark farther still what follows Heb. 10. 30. Vengeance belongeth to me I will recompence saith the Lord. O tremble at this Sin of refusing Christ It cries Vengeance Vengeance Vengeance against the Christless Soul The Unbeliever tramples upon the Blood of Christ and Vengeance shall fall upon him that tramples on it Ah Soul away to Christ never let the Blood of Christ cry against thee 5. The Ministers of Christ will come against you if you be found out of Christ God hath made his Ministers Ambassadours for to beseech Sinners to come in to Christ and they must return an Answer of their Embassage to their Lord and Master and if you come nor in they must come and bear witness against you that they delivered their Message 2 Cor. 5. 19 20. Therefore what will you say for your self in that Day You cannot say Christ was not offered to you No you will be speechless when the Lord asks the Question How camest thou without a Wedding Garment How come you to be without the Righteousness of my Son was it not offered you Then I must come and witness against you Yea Lord I offered him to this Sinner this young
