| “And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words” (Hebrews 13:22). |
| Samuel Rutherford was born in the year 1600 and died March 30, 1661. He was a sincere and earnest Christian, who in his pathway for Christ experienced many trials and much grief. Sometime during his life he wrote a letter to a friend and brother in Christ. The advice given in the letter is still relevant 400 years later and I will quote part of it here: |
| “I know that you are looking to Christ, and I beseech you to follow your look … |
| “The sweetest and safest course is, for this short time, to stand for Jesus … to gain Christ. All other things are shadows, dreams, fancies and nothing.” |
| Yes, to follow Christ is the best course indeed! It may not be easy, but it will be happy. Paul said, “For to me to live is Christ” (Philippians 1:21), and, “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). |
