That we might know by the proof of prophetic fulfillment that the words in the gospels did not originate in men, but were as God-breathed as the Torah of Moses.
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Each of the verses in Matthew contain a kernel of truth, which are like a garden of tender shoots, planted in a row, each growing and maturing into a full tree.
