SERMON IV CHRIST THE ONLY WAY JOHN xiv. 6. (Crisp)

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE; NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME.

The next thing to consider is what kind of way Christ is to the Father. First, as you have heard already, he is a free way; there is not a bar set up against any person in the world, the way is open: it is a foul delusion of Satan in the heart of any man whatsoever, to say, Christ doth not belong to me; I would fain have Christ, but I may not close with him; let this consideration be never so plausible, it is a false consideration; for there is no bar in the world, if there be but a heart to step into him. Suppose a man has a mind to step into the king's highway, which is the subject's privilege. In that case, no man can say to him, You trespass in so doing: it is made to be common. for all: so is Christ a common way to all sorts (1 Cor. vi. 11. Acts vi. 14.) of persons whatsoever, to whom there is a heart given to step into him.
