Mt 11:28 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
TRUE STORY
One time a man was invited to attend a gospel meeting. Even though, he was reluctant to go, he went nonetheless. In that meeting, he listened to people who sang:
"Come! Oh come to Me! Come! Oh come to Me! Weary, heavy-laden. Come! Oh come to Me!"
He said: "I never saw so many fools gathered together in my life." He could never understand why rational and thinking men would sing such a hymn. He went out but the little word "Come" kept ringing in his mind.
So he went inside a bar and tried to drown himself with alcohol and forget about the whole thing. But still the word "Come" would not go away. It persisted "Come, come, come!"
He went into another bar and tried once again to forget about the whole thing. But still the word "Come" kept coming back. He said to himself: "What a fool I am allowing myself to be bothered about this coming to Jesus thing!" So he went into another bar, tried to silence the word with alcohol and went straight home.
He tried to sleep it away but his pillow seemed to whisper the word: "Come, come, come!" He got up and took a little hymnbook and located the hymn and said: "What nonsense!" So he set the hymnbook on fire but he could not burn up the little word "Come!"
He vowed to himself that he would never come to those gospel meetings again. But the very next night, for some reason, he found himself in the same meeting and the men were again singing: "Come, come, come!"
To make the long story short, the Spirit of God plowed him with conviction of sin and right there, he repented and trusted in Christ and he got saved and publicly testified that he has come to the Savior of sinners.
Later, he said, "I think this hymn is the sweetest and the best in the English language. God blessed it to the saving of my soul. And yet this was the hymn that I despised."
