In Paul Mahan's sermon titled "Coming to Christ," he centers on the theological theme of coming to Christ for salvation and rest, primarily grounded in Matthew 11:28-30. Mahan argues that the invitation to "come" signifies a divine call that is both continual and persistent, echoing the biblical truth that those whom God calls will inevitably respond. The preacher references various Scriptures, including 1 Peter 2:3 and the accounts of Peter’s interactions with Jesus, to illustrate that true coming to Christ involves a continual journey of discipleship and worship. He emphasizes the practical implications of this doctrine: believers are called to seek Christ not for their own gain but for genuine worship and relationship with Him, reinforcing the Reformed emphasis on divine grace and the sovereignty of God in salvation.
“He that cometh to Christ, he that hath a son hath life.”
“If you ever quit coming, you're not His disciple.”
“If you come here for anything or anyone else, you'll go away empty. But if you come to Christ, you'll go away full of his fullness.”
“When you come to Christ, you'll be like that woman. Keep bringing her up. Truth, Lord.”
The Bible invites all who are weary to come to Christ for rest and salvation.
