Matthew Henry Quotes About Silver

Quotes about: Silver

• 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

  Mother, Easter, Peace

• I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself.

  Matthew Henry

  Thinking, Soul, Mountain

• When Christ was about to leave the world, He made His will. His soul He committed to His father; His body He bequeathed to Joseph to be decently interred; His clothes fell to the soldiers; His mother He left to the care of John; but what should He leave to His poor disciples that had left all for Him? Silver and gold He had none; but He left them that which was infinitely better, His peace.

  Matthew Henry

  Mother, Peace, Father

  Matthew Henry (2016). “Bible commentary - Gospel of John”, p.850, Bible Study Books

• God cannot be represented by an image. We ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. We wrong God, and put an affront upon him, if we think so. God honoured man in making his soul after his own likeness; but man dishonours God if he makes him after the likeness of his body. The Godhead is spiritual, infinite, immaterial, incomprehensible, and therefore it is a very false and unjust conception which an image gives us of God.
