Light is free. The wealth of the wealthy cannot purchase it. The skill of the skilful cannot frame it. The labours of the laborious cannot earn it. The poverty of the poor cannot debar from it. Wherever it comes, it flies on freedom's wings. It gilds the hall, unbribed by price. It illumines the hut, unbought by toil. Such is Christ. Sinner, do you crave this precious treasure? Open the casement of the heart, and it is yours. "Come ye, buy wine and milk, without money and without price." Waste not then time in seeking a price for Him, compared with whom an angel's worth is nothing worth. All your fancied merits are only demerit. Your best is sin, and will you offer sin for Christ? Plead misery and take mercy. Bewail darkness and He will give you light.
