"God has made Himself known to us in many ways in creation and providence, but most clearly by His Word. The judgments of his mouth are magnified even above those of His hand, and greater things are done by them. The wonders of grace exceed the wonders of nature; and what is discovered of God by revelation is much greater that what is discovered by reason."

~ Matthew Henry

~J.C. Ryle
