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

More quotes by Matthew Henry
Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
We have no sufficient strength of our own. All our sufficiency is of God. We should stir up ourselves to resist temptations in a reliance upon God's all-sufficiency and the omnipotence of his might.
Matthew Henry
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
Matthew Henry
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
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
Their own second and sober thoughts.
Matthew Henry
God's favour is happiness.
Matthew Henry
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
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
Brotherly love is still the distinguishing badge of every true Christian.
Matthew Henry
Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other.
Matthew Henry
Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.
Matthew Henry
The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
Matthew Henry
The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.
Matthew Henry
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
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
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry
Why wilt thou be so sottish, such an enemy to thyself, as to prefer puddle-water, and that poisoned too and stolen, before pure living waters out of thy own well?
Matthew Henry
