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
It is certain that this is not only good which the Almighty has done, but that it is best He hath reckoned all your steps to heaven.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.
Samuel Rutherford
