disturb the peace of God. You might take this little island, and throw
it right into the Atlantic, and it would make a great stir and
commotion in this world, but I don't think that God would be moved on
His eternal throne by it; it would not disturb Him in the heavens,
high and lifted up above all the earth. Let us have the peace of God,
and then we shall have rest.

Again He says, "These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might
remain in you." Christ's joy, not our own joy. When we come to a
personal Christ, and our souls are stayed on Him, then we get rest,
and peace, and joy. That is a rest that nothing can disturb; that is
peace that flows on like a river; that is joy for evermore.

2. Now, the next "I will" is in John vi. 37. I can imagine some of you
people saying, "Ah, if I were only good enough to come, I would come,
and get this rest, and peace, and joy." But if you will read the verse
I am speaking of, you will find it says, "Him that cometh to Me

I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT."

Surely that is broad enough--is it not? I don't care who the man or
woman is; I don't care what your trials, what your troubles, what your
sorrows, or what your sins are, if you will only come straight to the
Master, He will not cast you out. Come then, poor sinner; come just as
you are, and take Him at His word.

There was a wild and prodigal young man who came into one of our
meetings. He was running a headlong career to ruin, but the Spirit of
God got hold of him. Whilst I was conversing with him, and
endeavouring to bring him to Christ, I quoted this verse to him. I
held it right up to him, and led his mind right up to it, for some
time, and at last light seemed to break in upon him, and he seemed to
find comfort from it, so I told him to stick to that verse. Well,
after he had left, on his way home the devil met him. Why, I don't
believe that any man ever starts to go to Christ but the devil strives
somehow or other to meet him and trip him up. And even after he has
come to Christ the devil comes, and tries to assail him with doubts,
and make him believe there is something wrong in it. And so this young
man was met by Satan, who whispered to him, "How do you know that is a
right translation?" So that brought him for a while to a standstill,
and threw him into darkness again. But he remembered my telling him to
stick to that text, and there he was, after Satan had put that into
his mind, holding on to it, but he did
