Samuel Rutherford
Image
Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.
Samuel Rutherford

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
Image
The good Husbandman may pluck His rose & gather in His lily.
Samuel Rutherford

The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
No created powers can mar our Lord Jesus' music, nor spill our song of joy. Let us then be glad and rejoice in the salvation of our Lord
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
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
