Entry of Christ into Jerusalem by van Dyck
"All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to endure anything for Him, or with Him. Many follow Jesus unto the breaking of bread; but few to the drinking of the cup of His passion. Many reverence His miracles, few follow the ignominy of His cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities befall them."
- from the Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis
I return to Thomas a Kempis again and again for his wisdom and truth. Excellent quote.
