They lose nothing who gain 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
Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome home to Heaven.
Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford
Image
The good Husbandman may pluck His rose & gather in His lily.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
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
After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
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.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford

Grace grows best in winter.
