Mr. Wordy

One of my elders calls Matthew Henry "Mr. Wordy" - goog stuff, lots of words. Well, in one of his usual large piles of words Mr. Henry writes, "- “We hear what is said amiss, and see what is done amiss; but Christ looks at the root of bitterness in the heart, the blindness and hardness of that.” this comment stems from observation on Mark 3 and we see Jesus, with amazing clarity, getting to the heart of the matter. It is by the power of the spirit that believers don't dwell in bitter, blind, hardness of heart- although many can often spend time there we don't stay and that is because of what Jesus has done and because He has sent His Spirit.
