A final quote to ponder upon the completion of the adult elective "Story of Redemption"...
“Christian, believe this, and think on it: you will be eternally embraced in the arms of that love which was from everlasting, and, will extend to everlasting; of that love which brought the Son of God's love from heaven to earth, from earth to the cross, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to glory; that love which was weary, hungry, tempted, scorned, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crucified, pierced; which did fast, pray, teach, heal, weep, sweat, bleed, die; that love will eternally embrace you... perfect created love and most perfect uncreated love meet together… the saints' everlasting rest must consist in the enjoyment of God by love.”
--Richard Baxter, in The Saint’s Everlasting Rest.
