Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.

More quotes by Alexander MacLaren
Christ's voice sounds now for each of us in loving invitation and dead in sin and hardness of heart though we be, we can listen and live. Christ Himself, my brother, sows the seed now. Do you take care that it falls not on, but in, your souls.
Alexander MacLaren
There can be no faith so feeble that Christ does not respond to it.
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
We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
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
Oh, remember that as certain as the historical fact, He died on Calvary so certain is the prophetic fact, He shall reign, and you and I will stand there. I durst not touch that subject. Take it into your own hearts, and think about it, a kingdom, a judgment-seat, a crown, a gathered universe separation, decision, execution of the sentence.
Alexander MacLaren
The world takes its notions of God from the people who say that they belong to God's family. They read us a great deal more than they read the Bible. They see us they only hear about Jesus Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
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?
Alexander MacLaren
If God sends us on stony paths, He will provide us with strong shoes.
Alexander MacLaren
Heaven is endless longing, accompanied with an endless fruition-a longing which is blessedness, a longing which is life.
Alexander MacLaren
Faith is the sight of the inward eye.
Alexander MacLaren
If you would know Christ at all, you must go to Him as a sinful man, or you are shut out from Him altogether.
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
And so, in calm expectation of a blessed future and a finished work which will explain the past, in honest submission of out way to God, in supreme delight in Him who is the gladness of our joy, the secret of tranquillity will be ours.
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 grave has a door on its inner side.
Alexander MacLaren
The manliness of Christian love, and the putting away from ourselves of all fear, because we are perfected in love, is one of the highest lessons that the gospel teaches us, and one of the greatest things which the gospel gives us.
Alexander MacLaren
True faith, by a mighty effort of the will, fixes its gaze on our Divine Helper, and there finds it possible and wise to lose its fears. It is madness to say, I will not be afraid it is wisdom and peace to say, I will trust and not be afraid.
Alexander MacLaren
There is one thing that makes life mighty in its veriest trifles, worthy in its smallest deeds, that delivers it from monotony, that delivers it from insignificance. All will be great, nothing will be overpowering, when, living in communion with Jesus Christ, we say as He says, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.
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
