The riches we impart are the only wealth we shall always retain.
Matthew Henry

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
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

Matthew Henry
Image
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry
Image

Matthew Henry
Image
The kingdom of heaven was never intended to indulge the ease of triflers, but to the rest of them that labor.
Matthew Henry
