Samuel Rutherford
Image
Those who can take that crabbed tree handsomely upon their back, and fasten it on cannily, shall find it such a burden as wings unto a bird, or sails to a ship.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
Samuel Rutherford
Image

After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Praise God for the hammer, the file, and the furnace. The hammer molds us, the file sharpens us, and the fire tempers us.
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
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
I had but one joy, the apple of the eye of my delights , to preach Christ my Lord
