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
Image
Remember that vision on the Mount of Transfiguration and let it be ours, even in the glare of earthly joys and brightnesses, to lift up our eyes, like those wondering three, and see no man any more, save Jesus only.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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.

We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.

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
Image
A living man must have a living God, or his soul will perish in the midst of earthly plenty, and will thirst and die whilst the water of earthly delights is running all around him. We are made to need persons not things.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Every life has dark tracts and long stretches of somber tint, and no representation is true to fact which dips its pencil only in light, and flings no shadows on the canvas.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
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
Image
In such a world as this, with such hearts as ours, weakness is wickedness in the long run. Whoever lets himself be shaped and guided by any thing lower than an inflexible will, fixed in obedience to God, will in the end be shaped into a deformity, and guided to wreck and ruin
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Embrace in one act the two truths-thine own sin, and God's infinite mercy in Jesus Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Given a man full of faith, you will have a man tenacious in purpose, absorbed in one grand object, simple in his motives, in whom selfishness has been driven out by the power of a mightier love, and indolence stirred into unwearied energy.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Logically, faith comes first, and love next but in life they will spring up together in the soul the interval which separates them is impalpable, and in every act of trust, love is present and fundamental to every emotion of love to Christ is trust in Christ.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
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
Image
Love Christ, and then the eternity in the heart will not be a great aching void, but will be filled with the everlasting life which Christ gives and is.

You must cast yourself on God's gospel with all your weight, without any hanging back, without any doubt, without even the shadow of a suspicion that it will give.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
Every sin is a mistake, as well as a wrong and the epitaph for the sinner is, Thou fool!
Alexander MacLaren

There can be no faith so feeble that Christ does not respond to it.
