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

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
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.

Image
How soon would faith freeze without a cross!
Samuel Rutherford
Image
We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
My faith has no bed to sleep upon but omnipotence.
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
Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
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
