How preachers through history handled this text
9 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 19, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Never was there such a sermon preached, before or since, as this which was preached to the church in the wilderness. It might be supposed that the terrors would have checked presumption and curiosity in the people; but the hard heart of an unawakened sinner can trifle with the most terrible threatenings and judgments. In drawing near to God, we must never forget his holiness and greatness, nor our own meanness and pollution. We cannot stand in judgment before him according to his righteous law. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 19:16–35 (Public Domain)
