You must take a house beside the Physician. It will be a miracle if ye be the first sick that Christ hath put away uncured.
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.

Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.
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

Samuel Rutherford
Image
The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
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
I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.
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
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
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
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.

How soon would faith freeze without a cross!
