I PREACHED to you, this morning [See sermon #2046, Consolation from Resurrection], the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead and its various bearings, but unless you have experienced spiritual resurrection, you do not understand that doctrine, and you canno…

WHEN he penned this psalm, the writer, David, was in deep distress, if not of circumstances, yet of conscience. He constantly mentions iniquities, and begs forgiveness. He felt like a shipwrecked mariner, carried overboard into the raging sea. Thus he reviews…

OUR Savior very frequently healed the sick by a touch, for He intended to impress upon us the truth that the infirmities of fallen humanity can only be removed by contact with His own blessed humanity.

SOW when the time comes, whatever wind blows. Reap when the times comes, whatever clouds are in the sky! There are however, qualifying proverbs which must influence our actions. We are not to discard prudence in the choice of the time for our work. “To every t…

IT appears, according to the apostle Paul, that according to the diversity of gifts which proceeded from the selfsame Spirit of God, those who gave assistance to the early church, did so in different ways.

POOR Israel, as a nation, had its ups and downs. It was sometimes in captivity and soon it experienced a deliverance. At one time, it was diminished and brought low through affliction, persecution, or sorrow. At another, it was multiplied and increased exceedi…

JUST a few sentences must suffice concerning the first meaning of the text. I think there can be little doubt that we have here a prophecy of our Lord’s second advent and of the gathering together in one assembly of all the chosen people of God, both those who…

IT was a great sorrow to an Eastern woman to be childless. In modern times that affliction is endured with cheerful equanimity, but in those days it was regarded as a dreadful curse, and the feelings of those afflicted by it were of the most painful kind, as w…

LAST Sabbath day the title of my discourse was, “Conversions Desired,” and my earnest prayer to God has been that the effect of this morning’s sermon may be conversions accomplished. I cannot be happy unless I indulge the hope that some will this morning turn…

HOW very confidently Paul contemplates the prospect of death! He betrays no trembling apprehensions. With the calmness and serenity, not merely of resignation and submission, but of assurance and courage, he appears joyous and gladsome, and even charmed with t…

THE beloved apostle John here addresses himself to those who have believed in the Son of God.
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 29, 1861
THE church says concerning her Lord, “My beloved is mine, and I am his.” No “ifs,” no “buts.” The two sentences are solemn assertions. Not, “I hope, I trust, I think,” but “My beloved is mine, and I am his.” “Yes,” but you will say, “the church must then have…

YOU will observe that our Lord here speaks concerning Himself. He speaks not of His words merely, nor of His offices, nor of His work, but of Himself. “I am that bread of life.” And herein He teaches us all to fix our eyes mainly upon His blessed person, and t…

YOU see the text begins with a personal experience within the mind and judgment—“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened.” Everything depends upon the opened eye. The scene may be fair and the light may be bright, but if the sight is gone, all is in v…

AN immense number of persons came down into Egypt from all parts of the world to buy corn.

THE Epistle to the Philippians is the epistle of joy. Bengel sums it up in two Latin words, which, being interpreted, signify, “I rejoice, rejoice you.” Here we come to that sweet fruit of the Spirit which we call “Joy.” The statement Paul makes about the Phil…

OBSERVE, dear friends, how glorious God is. The description given here by the apostle contains but few words, and those nearly all little ones, but how full of meaning they are. “Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things.” Here you have God set…

IT was the Sabbath day! Where would Jesus spend that day and how? He would not spend it, we are quite sure, in any unhallowed manner or in any trifling sort. What would He do? He would do good, for it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day. Where would He do…

I BELIEVE that the first sense of these words is not the one usually given to them, nor yet the one upon which I intend to preach tonight. We read in the 12 th of Matthew that our divine Lord was assailed by the scribes and Pharisees, but He did not enter at t…

LAST Sabbath morning [Sermon #1683, The Great Cross-Bearer, and His Followers], I spoke to you concerning one who was forced into the King’s service. That was Simon, the Cyrenian, who was compelled to bear Christ’s cross. He was not a volunteer, but a pressed…

I MUST first remove the moldy piece from the text, and that is the word “if,” which has no sort of business here whatever. You notice that the translators put it in italics, to intimate to us that it was no Word of God, but one of their own words which they th…

DOES not this show us the great gentleness and infinite mercy of God? And as we know most of God in the person of our Lord, Jesus Christ, should it not charm us to remember that when He came on earth He did not visit kings and princes, but He came unto the hum…

I TAKE the two records of Matthew and Mark that we may have the whole matter before us. May the Holy Spirit bless our meditation.
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 21, 1886
DEAR friends who are not yet decided; if you would become followers of the Lord Jesus Christ it will be well for you to count the cost. It was our Lord’s custom to bid men consider what His service might involve. His frequent declaration was, “He that takes no…
