Rutherford: crosses

Wednesday, March 28, 2018
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”
    —Matthew 10:37-38 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Come all crosses, welcome, welcome! so I may get my heartful of my Lord Jesus.
