Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry (1662-1714) was a gifted speaker and a true follower of Christ. With his incredible memory and admirable eloquence, he easily could have been a successful lawyer. However, he chose to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a pastor. From 1687 to 1712, he pastored a church in Chester, and then a church in London until his death. Matthew Henry was only fifty-two years old when he died from apoplexy in 1714, but he left behind a legacy that has not been soon forgotten.
