More quotes by 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.

After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.
Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford
My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.
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
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
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
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
How soon would faith freeze without a cross!
Samuel Rutherford
When the supreme magistrate will not execute the judgment of the Lord, those who made him supreme magistrate, under God, who have under God, sovereighn liberty to dispose of crowns and kingdoms, are to execute the judgment of the Lord, when wicked men make the law of God of none effect.
Samuel Rutherford
Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
