Robert Murray M'CheyneWhen old companions, old lusts, and sins crowd in upon you, and when you feel that you are ready to sink, what can save you, sinking sinner ? This alone - I have a high priest in heaven, and he can support in the hour of affliction. This alone can give you peace-I have a high priest in heaven. When you are dying - when friends can do you no good - when sins rise up like spectres around your bed - what can give you peace ? This - "I have a high priest in heaven"
Robert Murray M'CheyneGet your texts from God - your thoughts, your words, from God... It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus.
