J. C. Ryle on the Power of Christ

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Monday, August 24, 2020 at 5:16 AM

“The rulers of the earth plan, scheme, make laws and change laws, war, and pull down one and raise up another. But they little think that they rule only by the will of Jesus and that nothing happens without the permission of the Lamb of God. They do not know that they and their subjects are all as a drop of water in the hand of the crucified One, and that He increases the nations and diminishes the nations, just according to His mind.  “


J. C. Ryle
