Dying Words of Rutherford

| Wednesday, June 14, 2006

Some of the dying words of Samuel Rutherford, shows how much, Heaven was in him, before he was in Heaven.

I shall shine, I shall see Him as He is and all the fair comforting within and shall have my large share. It is no easy thing to be a Christian, but as for me I have got the victory, and Christ is holding forth His arms to embrace me. I've had my fears and fainting's as an utter sinful man to be carried through creditably, but as sure as He ever spake to me in His Word, His Spirit witness to my heart saying Fear Not. Now, I feel, I believe, I enjoy I rejoice, I feed on manna. I have angels food my eyes shall see my redeemer, I, know that He shall stand upon the earth, and I shall be caught up in the clouds to meet Him in the air. I sleep in Christ, and when I awake I shall be satisfied, with His likeness. Oh for, arms to embrace Him, Glory, Glory dwelleth, in Immanuel's Land. [Samuel Rutherford on his deathbed]
