# Alexander McLeod on Christian Consolation Under Affliction

“The man of piety enjoys Christian consolation under afflictions; because he is taught to see their use and their end. They *last but for a moment*, compared with the duration of the soul with God, and they work out for us, by the blessing of heaven, *a far more exceeding, and eternal weight of glory*.” — [**Alexander McLeod**](/authors/alexander-mcleod), *The Life and Power of True Godliness* (1816), p. 360
