You Can Never Think Too Highly of Christ

Posted on by under J. C. Ryle

We can never make too much of Christ. Our thoughts about the Church, the ministry, and the sacraments, may easily become too high and extravagant. We can never have too high thoughts about Christ, can never love Him too much, trust Him too implicitly, lay too much weight upon Him, and speak too highly in His praise. He is worthy of all the honor that we can give Him. He will be all in heaven. Let us see to it, that He is all in our hearts on earth.

The End of the World

Posted on by under J. C. Ryle

I do not know when Christ will come. I am no prophet, though I love the subject of prophecy. I dislike date-fixing, and I think it has done some great harm. I only assert positively that Christ will come again one day in person to set up His kingdom, and that whether the day be near — or whether it be far off, it will take the church and the world exceedingly by surprise.
