“Taking counsel in the soul will drive us in every direction and cause us to surmise things that are so alien to the truth of God that once enlightened, we will shutter at such wild extremes.  Yet, is not this a mirrored reflection of just what we are when the Lord hides His face and is silent with His people?  We add to our sorrow daily and badger our own miserable condition.”  (Author, No name given)

“The excellency of the Scriptures, and the wisdom of their Divine Author, are to be seen in what they conceal and keep back, as well as in what they reveal and bring forward.”  (Thomas McCrie; 1772-1835)

“God seems to go quite across and work in a contrary way: when He intends the greatest mercies to His people He first usually brings them into very low conditions.”  (Jeremiah Burroughs; 1599-1646)

“The wages that sin bargains with the sinner are life, pleasure and profit; but the wages it pays him with are death, torment, and destruction.  He that would understand the falsehood and deceit of sin, must compare its promises and its payments together.”  (Robert South  1633-1716)

“As with the Master, so with the servants:  witness the calumnies and the reviling that from the time of Joseph’s accusation by his mistress till the present day, have been the lot of God’s people.”  (Michael Ayguan  1340-1416)

In these names, Lord and Jesus Christ’s divinity and humanity blend.  He whom we trust is both God and Man.  As God alone, we could never have known Him.  As Man alone, He could never have saved us.  (William Graham Scroggie; 1877-1958)

(Col. 1: 12, 13). “By reading these verses, we become vastly aware that it was Jesus Christ who delivered us from the power of darkness.  That carries with it a reigning ability which supersedes anything prior to the coming of that power.  The bondage of iniquity rent asunder, obliterated, destroyed; the reign of grace leading the recipient of mercy into the position of devotion and light.  Such was the purpose of the coming of the Son of God.”  (Author not mentioned)

“Jesus Christ suffered all things for the elect’s sake that He might reconcile them to God.  Divine judgment could not be abated.  Full payment which would meet the approval of God was necessary.  In Christ alone was such a thing possible,”  (1977, Author not named)

“If anything could be imagined which was to be added in time to the blessedness of the intercourse which the Godhead eternally enjoyed, none would have suggested  that it was to be sinful depraved fallen man. Truly, the election of God is awe-inspiring.”  (Author not named)

“The very God hath afflicted Himself to satisfy His justice, pouring out His wrath and anger on His Son for the elect’s sins.”  (Unknown)
