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
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

If God and his grace do not rule us, sin and Satan will have possession of us.
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
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
Matthew Henry
Image
God's favour is happiness.
Matthew Henry
Image

Matthew Henry
Image
Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time.
Matthew Henry
Image
None shall be saved by Christ but those only who work out their own salvation while God is working in them by His truth and His Holy Spirit. We cannot do without God and God will not do without us.
Matthew Henry
