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
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
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
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.

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
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.
