From Saints' Rest

How will it fill our souls with perpetual joy, to think that in the streams of this [The Redeemer's] blood we have swum through the violence of the world, the snares of Satan, the seductions of flesh, the curse of the law, the wrath of an offended God, the accusations of a guilty conscience, and the vexing doubts and fears of an unbelieving heart, and are arrived safely at the presence of God!

I don't think I even have enough words in my vocabulary to comment on this. It's by Richard Baxter, written hundreds of years ago, yet, the book Saints' Rest, is about today and eternity.
