The Glory of the Marks of the Lord Jesus
Galatians 6:17
From now on let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.


As it is a glory to a soldier to have received many wounds and to have many scars in his prince's quarrel, and for the defence of his country; so it is a glory for the Christian soldier to have the marks of the Lord Jesus in his body, as of wounds, scourges, and imprisonments for the truth. But if these be the glory of Christ's servants, what shall we say of those who not only have their consciences seared as with a hot iron, but have the marks of Bacchus and Venus in their bodies.

(R. Cudworth.)
