The Lord is good and remains so unto death. We shall die in his peace; he will lead us out of the last distress and let us inherit all he has, and give us rest as he himself rests. The Lord is good.

— Johann Jakob Rambach (1693–1735), Theologe

Johann Jakob Rambach

Johann Jakob Rambach war ein deutscher evangelisch-lutherischer Theologe, Universitätsprofessor und Liederdichter des Pietismus, der im 18. Jahrhundert in Halle und Gießen wirkte. Er verband in seinen Schriften zur Schriftauslegung wissenschaftliche Exegese mit persönlicher Frömmigkeit und verfasste einflussreiche Passionsbetrachtungen sowie geistliche Lieder. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem in der christlichen Andachtsliteratur und durch Gesangbuchlieder wie „Ich bin getauft auf deinen Namen“.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

The bells sound, they sound quite differently than usual, when one knows of a dead person whom one loves.

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
