Matthew Henry - Complete Commentary

Matthew Henry

This chapter is a prayer, it is the Lord's prayer, the Lord Christ's prayer. There was one Lord's prayer which he taught us to pray, and did not pray himself, for he needed not to pray for the forgiveness of sin; but this was properly and peculiarly his, and suited him only as a Mediator, and is a sample of his intercession, and yet is of use to us both for instruction and encouragement in...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. I can understand a man saying to God, “All mine are thine;” but no man, unless he is something more than man, dares to say to God, “Thine are mine.” But Jesus Christ, who is both God and man, gives all that he has to God, and all that God has belongs to him, so that he can truly say, “All mine are thine, and thine are mine;...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions

Charles H. Spurgeon

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil. Christ did not pray that there might be monasteries and nunneries where his servants might be shut away from the world, nor even that his followers might die in early youth, and go home to heaven; but he prayed that, remaining in the world for gracious purposes, —to be its salt and its light—,...
