Exodus is the story of the first redemption of God's people for
Himself. Starting with a people enslaved and oppressed, seemingly
forgotten by their God, it culminates with the Tabernacle. God had
chosen His people, setting them apart from the other nations: His
kingdom of priests. Exodus forms the sub-structure of the Old
Testament - and points at every stage to the coming Messiah of the
New Testament.
Matthew Henry (1662-1714) is highly-valued by contemporary
preachers and Bible users. Here we get a closer look at the life of
Matthew Henry by an author who has had a life-long interest in
Matthew Henry and his writings. Matthew Henry was the son of a
Puritan pastor who had been silenced by the government of the time.
Nevertheless Philip Henry, a godly man reared his family on
Christian principles and Matthew followed the Lord from an early
age. Although it was difficult to find suitable ministerial
training, Matthew Henry eventually studied for the ministry. With
government opposition relaxing, he became a Presbyterian pastor in
Chester in 1687 and later in London from 1712. It is astonishing to
note the amount of preaching and writing that he accomplished
despite suffering from ill-health and knowing intense sorrow in his
family life.
