More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
The tears of Christ are the pity of God. The gentleness of Jesus is the long-suffering of God. The tenderness of Jesus is the love of God. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.
Alexander MacLaren
Let the current of your being set towards God, then your life will be filled and calmed by one master-passion which unites and stills the soul.
Alexander MacLaren
Love is the only fire that is hot enough to melt the iron obstinacy of a creatures's will.
Alexander MacLaren
That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Savior, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.
Alexander MacLaren
Let us learn how the love of Christ, received into the heart, triumphs gradually but surely over all sin, transforms character, turning even its weakness into strength, and so, from the depths of transgression and the very gates of hell, raises men to God.
Alexander MacLaren
True peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God and will be deep and passing all understanding in the exact measure in which we live in and partake of the love of God.
Alexander MacLaren
The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.
Alexander MacLaren
Conflict, not progress, is the word that defines man's path from darkness into light. No holiness is won by any other means than this, that wickedness should be slain day by day, and hour by hour.
Alexander MacLaren
We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence and that the center of the whole universe is the cross of Calvary.
Alexander MacLaren
Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.
Alexander MacLaren
The act of faith, which separates us from all men, unites us for the first time in real brotherhood and they who, one by one, come to Jesus and meet Him alone, next find that they are come to the city of God and to an innumerable company.
Alexander MacLaren
Don't waste your sorrows
Alexander MacLaren
Being in Christ, it is safe to forget the past it is possible to be sure of the future it is possible to be diligent in the present.
Alexander MacLaren
If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake.
Alexander MacLaren
A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on.
Alexander MacLaren
The more we work the more we need to pray. In this day of activity there is great danger, not of doing too much, but of praying too little for so much work.
Alexander MacLaren
If life has not made you by God's grace, through faith, holy--think you, will death without faith do it? The cold waters of that narrow stream are no purifying bath in which you may wash and be clean. No! no! as you go down into them, you will come up from them.
Alexander MacLaren
We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
Alexander MacLaren
Grieve not the Christ of God, who redeems us and remember that we grieve Him most when we will not let Him pour His love upon us, but turn a sullen, unresponsive unbelief towards His pleading grace, as some glacier shuts out the sunshine from the mountain-side with its thick-ribbed ice.
Alexander MacLaren
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
