“Melt You Into Love”
The following is brief excerpt of a sermon by George Whitefield entitled, “The Marriage of Cana.” It is a plea from the influential preacher for those who do not know Christ to come to Him and marry their lives to His truth. This small piece represents a beautiful, heartfelt example of the passion which I believe we should have to see the lives of the lost be changed – a passion which comes from Christ, Himself.
I recommend reading the full sermon. You can find out more about George Whitefield and the magnificent impact he has had on the world here and here.
And now, sinners, what have you to object? I see you are all silent, and well you may. For if you will not be drawn by the cords of infinite and everlasting love, what will draw you? I could urge many terrors of the Lord to persuade you; but if the love of Jesus Christ will not constrain you, your case is desperate. Remember then this day I have invited all, even the worst of sinners, to be married to the Lord Jesus. If you perish, remember you do not perish for lack of invitation. You yourselves shall stand forth at the last day, and I here give you a summons to meet me at the judgment seat of Christ, and to clear both my master and me. Would weeping, would tears prevail on you, I could wish my head were waters, and my eyes fountains of tears, that I might weep out every argument, and melt you into love.
