What They Said

“The word is a mirror to show us our spots, and Christ’s blood is a fountain to wash them away; it turns leprosy into purity.”

Thomas Watson

“If you think you can laugh and sport yourself because your sin is forgiven, you know nothing of the matter.  Sin has been pardoned at such a price that we cannot henceforth trifle with it.  The sacrifice was so august that we must ever speak of it with holy trembling.”

Charles Spurgeon

“We have to die to live.  That is the central law of life.  We must burn to give light to the world, or to give forth odor of incense to God's praise.  We cannot save ourselves and at the same time make anything worthy of our life, or be in any deep and true sense an honor to God and a blessing to the world.  The altar stands in the foreground of every life, and can be passed by only at the cost of all that is noblest and best.”

J.R. Miller

“I never made a sacrifice. Of this we ought not to talk, when we remember the great sacrifice which He made who left His Father's throne on high to give Himself for us; 'who being the brightness of that Father's glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.’”

David Livingstone
