Thomas Watson Quotes

Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.

The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains.

God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.

A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.

It was wonderful love that Christ should rather die for us than for the angels that fell. They were creatures of a more noble extract, and in all probability might have brought greater revenues of glory to God; yet that Christ should pass by those golden vessels, and make us clods of earth into stars of glory — Oh, the hyperbole of Christ's love!

[Concerning the Word preached:] Do we prize it in our judgments? Do we receive in into our hearts? Do we fear the loss of the Word preached more than the loss of peace and trade? Is it the removal of the ark that troubles us? Again, do we attend to the Word with reverential devotion? When the judge is giving the charge on the bench, all attend. When the Word is preached, the great God is giving us his charge. Do we listen to it as to a matter of life and death? This is a good sign that we love the Word.

Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.
