More quotes by Adam Clarke
Verse 11. (They presented unto Him gifts). The people of the east never approach the presence of kings and great personages, without a present in their hands. The custom is often noticed in the Old Testament, and still prevails in the east, and in some of the newly discovered South Sea Islands.
Adam Clarke
Woe to that man who runs when God has not sent him and woe to him who refuses to run, or who ceases to run, when God has sent him.
Adam Clarke
The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They lived on each other's praise. If they had acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they must have given up the good opinion of the multitude and they chose rather to lose their souls than to forfeit their reputation among men!
Adam Clarke
To suppose more than one supreme Source of infinite wisdom, power, and all perfections, is to assert that there is no supreme Being in existence.
Adam Clarke
Many talk much, and indeed well, of what Christ has done for us: but how little is spoken of what he is to do in us! and yet all that he has done for us is in reference to what he is to do in us.
Adam Clarke
The same sun that hardens the clay softens the wax.
Adam Clarke
This is the case with thousands: they appear desirous of knowing the truth, but have not patience to wait in a proper way to receive an answer to their question.
Adam Clarke
Matthew being a constant attendant on our Lord, his history is an account of what he saw and heard and, being influenced by the Holy Spirit, his history is entitled to the utmost degree of credibility.
Adam Clarke
Prayer is not designed to inform God, but to give man a sight of his misery to humble man's heart, to excite his desire, to inflame his faith, to animate his hope, to raise his soul from earth to heaven.
Adam Clarke
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
Adam Clarke
Deeply consider that it is your duty and interest to read the Holy Scriptures.
Adam Clarke
It is strictly and philosophically true in Nature and reason that there is no such thing as chance or accident it being evident that these words do not signify anything really existing, anything that is truly an agent or the cause of any event but they signify merely men's ignorance of the real an immediate cause.
Adam Clarke
However, all gifts seem now to be absorbed in one and a man must be either a Preacher or nothing.
Adam Clarke
This perfection is the restoration of man to the state of holiness from which he fell, by creating him anew in Christ Jesus, and restoring to him that image and likeness of God which he has lost.
Adam Clarke
There is no such thing as chance or accident the words merely signify our ignorance of some real and immediate cause.
Adam Clarke
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.
Adam Clarke
Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.
Adam Clarke
But this Christ or Redeemer took not upon him the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham, that is, human nature, that in the nature which sinned he might make the expiation required.
Adam Clarke
Now an infinite happiness cannot be purchased by any price less than that which is infinite in value and infinity of merit can only result from a nature that is infinitely divine or perfect
Adam Clarke
Death to a good man is but passing through a dark entry, out of one little dusky room of his Father's house into another that is fair and large, lightsome and glorious, and divinely entertaining.
