Christ took your cup of grief, your cup of the curse, pressed it to his lips, drank it to its dregs, then filled it with his sweet, pardoning, sympathizing love, and gave it back for you to drink, and to drink forever!
Octavius Winslow (Preacher, 1808 – 1878)
Who delivered up Jesus to die? Not Judas, for money; not Pilate, for fear; not the Jews, for envy; – but the father, for love!
Octavius Winslow (Preacher, 1808 – 1878)
So completely was Jesus bent upon saving sinners by the sacrifice of Himself, He created the tree upon which He was to die, and nurtured from infancy the men who were to nail Him to the accursed wood.
Octavius Winslow (Preacher, 1808 – 1878)
Seasons vary, circumstances change, feelings fluctuate, friendships cool, friends die, but Christ is ever the same.
Octavius Winslow (Preacher, 1808 – 1878)
