I am still in the land of the dying; I shall be in the land of the living soon. (his last words)

Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.

Christ has taken our nature into Heaven to represent us; and has left us on earth, with His nature, to represent Him.

The Law was given by Moses; the moral law, to discover the extent and abounding sin; the ceremonial law, to point out, by typical sacrifices and ablutions, the way in which forgiveness was to be sought and obtained. But grace, to relieve us from the condemnation of the one, and truth answerable to the types and shadows of the other, came by Jesus Christ.

A soul disengaged from the world is a heavenly one; and then are we ready for heaven when our heart is there before us.

Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame,The fire of love supplies ;While that which often bears the name,Is self in a disguise.True zeal is merciful and mild,Can pity and forbear ;The false is headstrong, fierce and wild,And breathes revenge and war.

God works powerfully, but for the most part gently and gradually.
