More quotes by 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

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.

I see Christ's love is so kingly, that it will not abide a marrow it must have a throne all alone in the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.

The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.
