May Christ be our joy, our confidence, our all. May we daily be made more like to Him, and more devoted to His service.
Matthew HenryTears are a tribute to our deceased friends. When the body is sown, it must be watered. But we must not sorrow as those that have no hope; for we have a good hope through grace both concerning them and concerning ourselves.
Matthew HenryAll obedience begins in the affections, and nothing in religion is done right, that is not done there first.
Matthew HenryWe have a cunning adversary, who watches to do mischief, and will promote errors, even by the words of scripture.
Matthew HenryCast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his work, honor our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him.
Matthew Henry
