What They Said

“He who makes the promise ever fulfils it by His own unaided omnipotence. If He speaks, it is done — done by Himself. His promises do not depend for their fulfillment upon the co-operation of the puny strength of man.”

"Christ's performances outstrip His promises."

“How grand and magnificent is the arch over our heads in a starry night! But if it were always day, the stars could not be seen. The firmament of scripture, if I may so speak, is spangled with exceeding great and precious promises, as the sky is with stars, but the value and beauty of many of them are only perceptible to us in the night of affliction.”
