Matthew Henry
Image
Tears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
Matthew Henry
Image
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.
Matthew Henry
Image
In all God's providences, it is good to compare His word and His works together for we shall find a beautiful harmony between them, and that they mutually illustrate each other.
