Thomas Manton on Affliction
Posted by Antoinette Petersen | Labels: Affliction, Thomas Manton | Posted On Wednesday, September 26, 2012 at 8:00 AM
"The whole creation groans, and God's children bear a part in the concert. They have their share in the world's miseries; and domestical crosses are common to them with other men in the world; yea, their condition is worse than others'. Chaff and corn are threshed in the same floor, but the corn is grinded in the mill and baked in the oven. Jeremiah was in the dungeon when the city was besieged. The world hates them more than others, and God loves them more than others. The world hates them because they are so good, and God corrects them because they are no better."
