More quotes by 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
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
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
So great was the extremity of his pain and anguish, that he did not only sigh but roar.
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
Image
Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
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
The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
Matthew Henry
Image
The flower of youth never appears more beautiful than when it bends toward the sun of righteousness.
Matthew Henry

Christ is our temple, in whom by faith all believers meet.
Matthew Henry
Image
Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
Matthew Henry
Image
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
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life third, because although they took my all, it was not much and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Matthew Henry
Image
The riches we impart are the only wealth we shall always retain.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
Matthew Henry
Image
When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.
Matthew Henry
Image
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
Image
The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.
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
Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.
