| C. H. SPURGEON. |
Although Spurgeon was a Calvinist, he actually sounds like an advocate of Free Grace theology when he shares the following thoughts on Matthew 11:28. Notice what Spurgeon says in a sermon titled “Christ’s Word With You” ‒ it’s still true today!
“‘Come unto me,’ says He, ‘and I will give you.’ That is the Gospel. ‘I will give you.’ You say, ‘Lord, I cannot give thee anything.’ He does not want anything. Come to Jesus, and He says, ‘I will give you.’ Not what you give to God, but what He gives to you, will be your salvation. ‘I will give you:’ that is the Gospel in four words. Will you come and have it? It lies open before you. Jesus wants nothing of you. Suppose you were to become Christ’s disciple, and serve Him with all your might throughout your life ‒ in what way would that enrich Him? He has died for you: how can you ever pay Him for that? He lives in heaven to plead for you, and He loves you; how can you ever reward Him for that? Our hope is not in what we can give to Him, but in what He gives to us.”[1]
