Rutherford Quote

“Ye have only these two shallow brooks, sickness and death, to pass through; and ye have also a promise, that Christ shall do more than meet you, even that he shall come himself, and go with you, foot for foot, yea and bear you in his arms.  O then! for the joy that is set before you, for the love of the Man (who is also God over all, blessed for ever) that is standing upon the shore to welcome you: run your race with patience.”

Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of Christ, page 103-104, Banner of Truth edition.
