The grave has a door on its inner side.

We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence and that the center of the whole universe is the cross of Calvary.

He that has no present Christ has a future, dark, chaotic, heaving with its destructive ocean; and over it there goes forever--black-pinioned winging its solitary and hopeless flight, the raven of his anxious thoughts, and finds no place to rest, and comes back again to the desolate ark with its foreboding croak of evil in the present and evil in the future.

Remember that vision on the Mount of Transfiguration; and let it be ours, even in the glare of earthly joys and brightnesses, to lift up our eyes, like those wondering three, and see no man any more, save Jesus only.

The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth, because it is the record of a person who is the Truth.

Embrace in one act the two truths-thine own sin, and God's infinite mercy in Jesus Christ.

We must have the glory sink into us before it can be reflected from us. In deep inward beholding we must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.
