Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
For love is of God. He is the fountain, author, parent, and commander of love it is the sum of his law and gospel.
Matthew Henry
Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.
Matthew Henry
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
Every tear of sorrow sown by the righteous springs up a pearl.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
Matthew Henry
Christ died. He left a will in which He gave His soul to His Father, His body to Joseph of Arimathea, His clothes to the soldiers, and His mother to John. But to His disciples, who had left all to follow Him, He left not silver or gold, but something far better-His PEACE!
Matthew Henry
God's favour is happiness.
Matthew Henry
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
Matthew Henry
Scriptures were written, not to satisfy our curiosity and make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints.
Matthew Henry
