We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.

The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?

Image
Faith is the sight of the inward eye.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Why should we live halfway up the hill and swathed in the mists, when we might have an unclouded sky and a radiant sun over our heads if we would climb higher and walk in the light of His face?

Image
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
Image
Our work, abiding, shall bring to us the endless glory with which God at last overpays the toils, even as now He overanswers the poor prayers of His laboring servants.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
He that has his trust set upon God does not need to dread anything except the weakening or the paralyzing of that trust.

The grace of God, says Luther, is like a flying summer shower. It has fallen upon more than one land, and passed on. Judea had it, and lies barren and dry. These Asiatic coasts had it, and flung it away.

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.

Image
Every sin is a mistake, as well as a wrong and the epitaph for the sinner is, Thou fool!
Alexander MacLaren
Image
The hand that holds the seven stars is as loving as the hand that was laid in blessing upon the little children the face that is as the sun shining in its strength beams with as much love as when it drew publicans and harlots to His feet. The breast that is girt with the golden girdle is the same breast upon which John leaned his happy head.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
God keeps giving Himself as long as we bring that into which He can pour Himself. And when we stop bringing, He stops giving.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
If our faith in God is not the veriest sham, it demands, and will produce, the abandonment sometimes, the subordination always, of external helps and material good.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Only he who can say, 'The Lord is the strength of my life' can go on to say, 'Of whom shall I be afraid?'
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
There can be no faith so feeble that Christ does not respond to it.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Here is the manliness of manhood, that a man has a good reason for what he does, and has a will in doing it.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Surely Scripture is right when it makes the sin of sins that unbelief, which is at bottom nothing else than a refusal to take the cup of salvation. Surely no sharper grief can be inflicted upon the Spirit of God than when we leave His gifts neglected and unappropriated.

To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty.
