More From Samuel Rutherford

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Faith Christian Jesus
Since the first human eye saw a leaf in devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. by this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. the stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. no one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. its forms are phantoms. the thread alone is real; the thread is life.
Beach Stars Real
Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.
Christian Mean Thinking
Since i’ve known you, you’ve been spinning and spinning and spinning into all these various personas, and none of this self-exploration and experimentation has given you a sense of peace. i’ve known you for six years, intimately for four, and i still have no idea who i’m in love with.
Saying Goodbye Self Years
In the days when the spinning wheels hummed busily in the farmhouses--and even great ladies, clothed in silk and thread lace, had their toy spinning wheels of polished oak--there might be seen, in districts far away among the lanes, or deep in the bosom of the hills, certain palled undersized men who, by the side of the brawny country-folk, looked like the remnants of a disinherited race.
Country Book Men
Here we are told that christ really lives in me, if i have accepted christ as my savior. in other words, we have the words of jesus to the thief of the cross, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise.' christ can say, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise,' and mean it. to die is to be with the lord. it is not just an idea, it is a reality. but at the same time, christ, the same christ who gives the promise just as definitely, that when i have accepted christ as my savior, he lives in me.
