John Bunyan's "Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ" is a classic work of Puritan theology that serves as a thorough and passionate exposition of John 6:37: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." At its heart, the book is a joyful declaration of the free and absolute welcome that Jesus Christ extends to every sinner, no matter how burdened by guilt or how great their past failures. Bunyan labors to remove the doubts and difficulties of all who are hesitant to approach Christ, assuring them that the promise is certain and that the coming sinner will never be cast out. He clarifies that "coming" to Christ is a spiritual movement of the mind and heart-a reliance on Christ alone for salvation-and powerfully encourages the weary to find their complete rest and assurance in the Savior's unwavering compassion and power.
