Selalu kagum dengan kalimat ini:
Sekarang saya dapat mengerti perkataan Rutherford yang diucapkannya
dalam penjara Aberdeen. Waktu itu ia dipenuhi kasih Kristus lalu berkata, ‘O,
Tuhan, kalau seandainya ada jurang neraka yang menyekat antara Tuhan dengan
saya, dan saya tak dapat menghampiri Tuhan kecuali menyeberanginya, maka tanpa
pikir panjang lagi, tentu saya ceburi juga, asal dapat datang memeluk Tuhan dan
berkata, Tuhanlah milik saya.’
Lagi dari Samuel Rutherford:
O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven without Thee, it would be hell; and if I could be in hell, and have Thee still, it would be heaven to me, for Thou are all the heaven I want.
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
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Since He looked upon me, my heart is not my own. He hath run away to heaven with it.
I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what the Lord is preparing for him.
Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.
