Spurgeon's Sermons: Volume Thirty-Nine

Now then, if you can, at least for a few minutes, divest yourselves of your cares, your anxieties, your doubts, your fears-there He stands, He of the pierced feet and the nailed hands, and the crimson side There He stands in Glory and He bids you come to Him and trust Him Lay your burdens down at His feet. Why should you carry what He will readily carry for you? Tell Him all your griefs. Why do you hide them from Him? Should He not know your heart if you are married to Him? Should there be a secret kept away from Him? I am persuaded that I am preaching to you what will be more healing than the balm of Gilead, and sweeter than the sweetest music to lull you into a delightful peace if you will but listen to this Gospel invitation and come to Jesus, by a simple act of faith, and by a great resolve of fellowship, for He says, "I will give you rest."
