Jesus Christ

“See here, for our comfort, a sweet agreement of all three persons: the Father gives a commission to Christ; the Spirit furnishes and sanctifies to it, and Christ himself executes the office of a Mediator. Our redemption is founded upon the joint agreement of all three persons of the Trinity. ~ The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes”

“See the contrary disposition of Christ on the one hand and Satan and his instruments on the other. Satan sets upon us when we are weakest, as Simeon and Levi upon the Shechemites, `when they were sore' (Gen. 34:25), but Christ will make up in us all the breaches which sin and Satan have made. He `binds up the broken hearted' (Isa. 61:1). As a mother is tenderest to the most diseased and weakest child, so does Christ most mercifully incline to the weakest. Likewise he puts an instinct into the weakest things to rely upon something stronger than themselves for support. The vine stays itself upon the elm, and the weakest creatures often have the strongest shelters. The consciousness of the church's weakness makes her willing to lean on her beloved, and to hide herself under his wing. ~ The Bruised Reed by Richard Sibbes”

“The nearer anyone is to heaven, the more earnestly he desires to be there, because Christ is there.”

“Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.”

“Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.”

“It was wonderful love that Christ should rather die for us than for the angels.”

“Christ is so in love with holiness, that at the price of His blood He will buy it for us.”

“In God's sight there are two men – Adam and Jesus Christ – and these two men have all other men hanging at their girdle strings.”

“Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own, He hath run away to heaven with it.”

“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.”
