Matthew Henry on Exodus 13:11-16

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

These institutions would continually remind them of their duty, to love and serve the Lord. In like manner, baptism and the Lord's supper, if explained and attended to, would remind us, and give us occasion to remind one another of our profession and duty.
