John Newton

 

From John Newton (author of the hymn, Amazing Grace):

 

“To know Jesus, is the shortest description of grace; to know him better, is the surest mark of growth in grace; the know him perfectly, is eternal life.”

 

“The greatest happiness we are capable of…is our communion with Christ…Hungering and thirsting for Christ is the central daily Christian discipline.”

 

“His [Jesus] treasury of life and salvation is inexhaustible…like the sun, which having cheered the successive generations of mankind with his beams, still shines with undiminished luster, is still the fountain of light, and has always a sufficiency to fill innumerable millions of eyes in the same instant.”

 

“Then let me boast with holy Paul,

That I am nothing, Christ is all.”


AMEN
