About This Quote
God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else. In this quote, Sir Francis Beaufort is trying to tell us that we need to hold fast to the things that drew us to Christ in the first place. If we could have convinced ourselves at age ten that Jesus was a good teacher and a good friend, we should have been able to see Him as a great Teacher and a great Friend even when He died on the cross.
