More quotes by Samuel Rutherford
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
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
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
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
Samuel Rutherford
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
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
Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop.
Samuel Rutherford
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
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
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
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.
Samuel Rutherford
Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.
Samuel Rutherford
Every man by nature is a freeman born by nature no man cometh out of the womb under any civil subjection to king, prince, or judge.
Samuel Rutherford
Oh thrice fools are we who like new-born princes weeping in the cradle know not that there is a kingdom before them then let our Lord's sweet hand square us and hammer us and strike off the knots of pride self-love and world-worship and infidelity that He may make us stones and pillars in His Father's house.
Samuel Rutherford
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
Heaven is a house full of miracles yea, of spectacles and images of free grace.
Samuel Rutherford
My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.
Samuel Rutherford
My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.
Samuel Rutherford
Grace grows best in winter.
