Mark 1:45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city… I. Of the open or PROFESSIONAL coming to Christ. The gospel when it is preached draws many to itself who are not saved by it. Many come to Christ from the lowest motives; to receive benefits; some out of transient enthusiasm. Out of the best haul a fisherman ever makes, there is something to throw away. II. Of the first real SPIRITUAL coming to Christ by faith. Let us try to help those who are coming to Christ. All who come to Christ from every quarter never one was disappointed with Him yet. III. The DAILY coming of saved souls to Jesus. They come from every quarter as to mental pursuits; from all points of theological thought; from every quarter of spiritual experience. IV. THAT GREAT GATHERING WHICH IS APPROACHING NEARER EVERY MOMENT. Saints come to Jesus in glory from every quarter. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. |
