I. FOR WHAT IS THERE ROOM? There is room for the most agreeable and delightful entertainment and improvement of all the faculties of a reasonable and immortal soul in this life, and for its eternal satisfaction, exaltation, and rapture in the next.

II. FOR WHOM IS THERE ROOM? There is room for sinners of all nations, wherever the gospel comes. There is room for sinners of all ranks and degrees, and of all characters in the moral, civil, and natural life; for younger and older sinners; for greater and lesser sinners. There is room for such as might be thought of all others the most unlikely, the most miserable, the most unlovely, and the most unworthy, even for the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind, as they are represented in the verse before our text.

III. WHERE IS THERE ROOM? And you may take some account of this in the following particulars.

1. There is room in the heart of God.

2. There is room in the provisions of Divine grace.

3. There is room in the encouragements of the gospel.

4. There is room in God's house.

IV. HOW IS IT TO BE UNDERSTOOD THAT YET THERE IS ROOM?

1. There still continues to be room.

2. There will not always be room.

I. By way of encouragement. If there is still room for all sorts of sinners, you that are yet young, may be assured with advantage that there is room for you.

II. By way of caution as to three things.

1. Take heed of every kind of refusal.

2. Take heed of attempting to come in thine own strength.

3. Take heed of expecting to be entertained on account of thine own worthiness, because thou art not so old a sinner as others.

(J. Guyse, D. D.)
