“He marvelled because of their Unbelief.”
THE above text is a very remarkable one. Of all the expressions in the Four Gospels which show that the Lord Jesus Christ was very Man, none perhaps is more startling than this, that He who was born of the Virgin Mary and had a body like our own should hunger, thirst and weep and rejoice, and be weary and suffer pain, all this we can in some degree understand, but that He who was very God as well as very Man, in whom dwelt all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, in whom were hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, He who knew what was in man—that He should marvel at any thing here below, may well fill us with astonishment.—Bishop Ryle.
Satan is never more a devil than when he looks most like an angel.
—John Newton.
Holy fear is a searching of the camp, that there be no enemy within our bosom to betray us; and seeing that all is fast and secure.
—Samuel Rutherford.
Better to go with a few to heaven than with much and polite company to hell.—Augustus Toplady.
