Puritan Quote of the Day - Thomas Adams

"'Depart from me,' - a fearful sentence, a terrible separation. 'From me,' said Christ, that made myself man for your sakes, that offered my blood for your redemption. 'From me,' that invited you to mercy, and you would not accept it. 'From me,' that purchased a kingdom of glory for such as believed on me, and have resolved to honor their heads with crowns of eternal joy. 'Depart from me,' from my friendship, my fellowship, my paradise, my presence, my heaven.'" - Thomas Adams (1583 - 1652)
