"Grace no more endures a vacuum than nature," says a shrewd commentator on this passage. The fact that there is room is the very strongest invitation; those words on God's lips are the mightiest appeal.

1. There is room in the Saviour's heart. Till that heart is full, till the largest desires of that love are satisfied, there is not a call only, there is a claim on you to come.

2. There is room in the great Father's home. The Father is the head of the home. Take your own fatherhood, motherhood, sisterhood, or brotherhood, to help you to understand the cry of that Father's heart, "there yet is room." Do not misunderstand the matter. Love may be outraged finally. There may come a point where even the wisest, most patient, most loving father is bound to cut off the son from his family, and extirpate each tender memory from his heart. But He has not cut you off. Your place still waits for you. Sin-sick, wretched one, there yet is room.

3. There is room among the blessed ones on high. Believe that the whole spiritual world throbs in sympathy with the Father and with Christ. Saints and angels, cherubim and seraphim, watch with rapt expectation the issues of a work which cost so much sacrifice, and expends so much love. It is the one theme on high; how heaven is to be filled, filled with the fruits of the Redeemer's travail and the trophies of His grace and love (Revelation 7:9-12).

(J. B. Brown, B. A.)
