They
hear the flames roar as they come along; they see death bearing down
upon them with resistless fury, but they do not fear. They do not even
tremble as the ocean of flame surges around them, for over the place
where they stand the fire has already past and there is no danger. There
is nothing for fire to burn. And there is one spot all earth that God
has swept over. Eighteen hundred years ago the storm burst on Calvary;
the Son of God took it into his own bosom, and now, if we take our stand
by the Cross, we are safe for time and eternity.

-- Christ never preached any funeral sermons.
-- His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.
-- Take your stand on the Rock of Ages. Let death, let the judgment come:
the victory is Christ's and yours through Him.
-- The only man who ever suffered before Christ was that servant who had
his ear cut off. But most likely in a moment afterward he had it on,
and very likely it was a better ear than ever, because whatever the
Lord does He does it well No man ever lost his life with Him.
-- A great many people wonder why it was that Christ did not come at
once to Martha and Mary, whom He loved, whenever He heard of their
affliction.
