#1 Expository Thoughts on the Gospel, by J.C. Ryle’s
Rich in devotional applications that cut to the heart of a text, Ryle’s enduring expositions on the Gospels are endowed with his understanding of life and people. Ryle’s chief aim is to help the reader to know Christ. He also has another object in view. He writes so that his commentaries can be read aloud for family devotions. There are many other fuller commentaries on the Gospels, but no others make such compelling listening as those of J.C. Ryle.

In other parts of Scripture we hear Christ by the hearing of the ear; but here our eye seeth Him. Elsewhere we see Him throught a glass darkly; but here, face to face.
