Rutherford: faith of a friend

Wednesday, May 16, 2018
    Commemoration of Caroline Chisholm, Social Reformer, 1877
Meditation:
    For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
    —1 Corinthians 1:18 (NIV)
Quotation:
    To believe Christ’s cross to be a friend, as he himself is a friend, is also a special act of faith.
    ... Samuel Rutherford (1600-1664), Letters of Samuel Rutherford, Edinburgh: William Whyte & Co., 1848, letter, Feb 13, 1640, p. 611 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, help me to discard the world’s wisdom concerning the cross. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
