171 Quotes by Samuel Rutherford

The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower

There is no sweeter fellowship with Christ than to bring our wounds and our sores to him.

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

The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.

Grace grows best in winter.

How soon would faith freeze without a cross!

Ye have lost a child--nay, she is not lost to you, who is found to Christ; she is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere.

Christ’s cross is such a burden as sails are to a ship or wings to a bird.

Live on Christ’s love while ye are here, and all the way.
