The Mighty Magnet

"And I, if l be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me" (John
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 other? 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.

“Reproach hath broken my heart.ö Ps. 69. 20



1 O that our flinty hearts could melt, While to remembrance, Lord, we call Part
of that weight which thou hast felt; For who can comprehend it all?

2 Ye sinners, while these symbols dear Present your suffering Lord to view,
Drop the soft tribute of a tear,
For he shed many a tear for you.

3 In the sad garden, on the wood,
His body bruised, from every part
Poured on the ground a purple flood, Till sorrow broke his tender heart.

4 Lord, while we thus show forth thy death, O send thy Spirit from above;
Help us to feed on thee by faith,
And sigh, and sing, and mourn, and love.
