Image
The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
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
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
My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.
Samuel Rutherford

He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
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

Samuel Rutherford
Image
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
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 have been benefited by praying for others for by making an errand to God for them I have gotten something for myself.
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
When I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
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
