Learning Of Christ: Quotations from Burning Words

A man may call himself a Christian - but the measure of his Christianity is the occupation of his mind and heart with the truth as it is in Jesus.— ALEXANDER MACLAREN

In the school of Christ they are the best scholars who continue learning to the last.— CHRISTIAN SCRIVER

We cannot be scholars of Christ without trying to understand what is the place and the work in the world for which each of us is fitted. Every thing which befalls us is part of our education. Every event and condition of life is a lesson which is to be turned to account to make us more worthy of Him who by suffering was made perfect - who Himself entered not into glory, till first He had suffered pain.— DEAN STANLEY

Brethren, we can rule our tempers, and we ought. Open the gospel, that most profound philosophy of the human soul, and yet most simple and practical directory of human duty; study it, fill your whole nature with its inspiration; set Christ before you; look upon His calm forehead and unstormed breast; think how He endured all contradiction of sinners, and endured them to the cross; and on the cross learn of Him then, for He was meek and lowly of heart.— HENRY GILES

Only, stay by his side Till the page is really known, It may be we failed because we tried To learn it all alone, And now that He would not let us lose One lesson of love (For He knows the loss,) - can we refuse?
