Matthew 19
- When the gospel is really embraced, it makes men kind relatives and faithful friends; it teaches them to bear the burdens, and to bear with the infirmities of those with whom they are connected, to consider their peace and happiness more than their own.
- It is well for us, that Christ has more love and tenderness in him than the best of his disciples have.
- The gospel is the only remedy for lost sinners.
- The beginning, progress, and perfecting the work of salvation, depend wholly on the almighty power of God, to which all things are possible.
Nehemiah 9
- The word will direct and quicken prayer, for by it the Spirit helps our infirmities in prayer. The careful study of God’s word will more and more discover to us our own sinfulness, and the plenteousness of his salvation; thus it calls us to mourn for sin, and to rejoice in him. Every discovery of the truth of God, should render us more unwearied in attendance on his sacred word, and on his worship.
- When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed. The dealings of the Lord showed his goodness and long-suffering, and the hardness of their hearts.
- Instead of keeping away from God under a sense of unworthiness, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. He is a God ready to pardon.
Acts 19
- We ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly; to do nothing in haste, of which we may repent at leisure.
