We sometimes seem to forget that what God takes He takes in the fire; and that the only way to the resurrection life and the ascension mount is the way to the garden, the cross, and the grave.

Think not, O, the soul of man, that Abraham’s was a unique and solitary experience. It is simply a specimen and pattern of God’s dealings with all souls who are prepared to obey Him at whatever cost. After thou hast patiently endured, thou shalt receive the promise. The moment of supreme sacrifice shall be the moment of supreme and rapturous blessing. God’s river, which is full of water, shall burst its banks, and pour upon them a tide of wealth and grace. There is nothing, indeed, which God will not do for a man who dares to step out upon what seems to be the most; though as he puts down his foot he finds a rock beneath him.
