Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
Matthew Henry
Image
A garment that is double dyed, dipped again and again, will retain the color a great while so a truth which is the subject of meditation.
Matthew Henry
Image
What harrowing is after sowing, the same is meditation after hearing--it hides the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
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!
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
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
Those that set God always before them and walk before him with all their hearts, shall find him as good as his word and better he will both keep covenant with them and show mercy to them.
Matthew Henry
Image
They that pray in the family do well they that pray and read the Scriptures do better but they that pray, and read, and sing do best of all.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.
Matthew Henry
Image
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
Image
Not lost, but gone before.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those who will not deliver themselves into the hand of God's mercy cannot be delivered out of the hand of His justice.
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
To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.
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
We should take heed of pride it is a sin that turned angels into devils.
Matthew Henry
Image
Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors.
Matthew Henry
Image
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
Matthew Henry
Image
Their own second and sober thoughts.
Matthew Henry
Image
None are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves.
