Quote of the Week

Christian, believe this, and think on it: thou shalt be externally embraced in the arms of that love which was from everlasting, and will extend to everlasting-of that love which brought the Son of God’s love from heaven to earth, from earth to the cross, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to glory-that love which was weary, hungry, tempted, scorned, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crucified, pierced-which did fast, pray, teach, heal, weep, sweat, bleed, die; that love will eternally embrace thee.

Richard Baxter, The Saints’ Everlasting Rest
