“The Spirit reveals to the soul the suitability and sufficiency of Christ to meet its
desperate needs…The Spirit teaches the believer many things, but His supreme subject
is Christ: to emphasize His claims, to exalt His Person, to reveal His perfections, to
make Him supremely attractive.”

”I have now to ask, whether you can consent to part with your daughter early next
spring, to see her no more in this world; whether you can consent to her departure,
and her subjection to the hardships and sufferings of a missionary life; whether you
can consent to her exposure to the dangers of the ocean; to the fatal influence of the
southern climate of India; to every kind of want and distress; to degradation, insult,
persecution, and perhaps a violent death. Can you consent to all this, for the sake of
Him who left His heavenly home, and died for her and you; for the sake of the
perishing, immortal souls; for the sake of Zion and the glory of God?”
-Adoniram Judson
