The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.
Matthew Henry

What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.

Matthew Henry
Image
God's Word must be the guide of your desires and the ground of your expectations in prayer.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those that have so much power over others as to be able to oppress them have seldom so much over themselves as not to oppress.
Matthew Henry
