Drank it Dry
The whole of the punishment of his people was distilled into one cup; no mortal lip might give it so much as a solitary sip. When he put it to his own lips, it was so bitter, he well nigh spurned it.—“Let this cup pass from me.” But his love for his people was so strong, that he took the cup in both his hands, and “At one tremendous draught of love He drank damnation dry,” for all his people. He drank it all, he endured all, he suffered all; so that now for ever there are no flames of hell for them, no racks of torment; they have no eternal woes; Christ hath suffered all they ought to have suffered, and they must, they shall go free.
Charles Spurgeon
Treason

Commit Ourselves

John Calvin
All the Rest
“The sovereign God wants to be loved for Himself and honored for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him we have everything – we have all the rest.”
A.W. Tozer
Mortify

Christ Within Us
“Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.”
A.W. Tozer
Scarcely Find
“He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.”
John Bunyan
