Sinners, Are You Poor?

Reflect on these words about the passion of the Lord Jesus:

Sinners, are you poor?
The Messiah has gold to enrich you.

Are you naked?
The Messiah has royal robes, he has white raiment to clothe you.

Are you blind?
The Messiah has eye-salve to enlighten you.

Are you hungry?
The Messiah will be manna to feed you.

Are you thirsty?
He will be a well of living water to refresh you.

Are you wounded?
He has a balm under his wings to heal you.

Are you sick?
He is a physician to cure you.

Are you prisoners?
He has laid down a ransom for you.

Ah, sinners! Tell me, tell me, is there anything in The Messiah to keep you off from believing?
No.

Is there not everything in The Messiah that may encourage you to believe in him?
Yes.

Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
