More quotes by 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

Brown bread and the Gospel is good fare.
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
Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him.

Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ's wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry
Image
ThanksGiving is good but ThanksLiving is better.
Matthew Henry
Image
There is one death bed repentance recorded in the Bible (the thief on the cross), so that no one despair, but there is ONLY one, so that no one will presume.
Matthew Henry
Image
. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.
Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer is the midwife of mercy, that helps to bring it forth.
Matthew Henry
Image
No creature hath the like resemblance to the divine nature, as light hath. He doth not only dwell in light, but he is light. Light is a pure, bright, clear, spiritual, unmixed substance. God is infinitely so.
Matthew Henry
Image
Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
Matthew Henry
