Quote

See that you buy the field where the Pearl is sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security.

Image
Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
We are as near to heaven as we are far from self, and far from the love of a sinful world.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
It is in some respect greater love in Jesus to sanctify than to justify, for He maketh us most like Himself, in His own essential portraiture and image in sanctifying us.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before... Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ she is not sent away, but only sent before like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The good Husbandman may pluck His rose & gather in His lily.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I find my Lord Jesus cometh not in the precise way that I lay wait for Him. He hath a manner of His own. Oh, how high are His ways above my ways
Samuel Rutherford
Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
Samuel Rutherford
Image
We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
