THE original scope of these words was just this—“If, as you say, you have understood the meaning of this—the washing of your feet by your Master—if you have comprehended My intention in so doing, then it will be to your lasting honor and happiness if you do th…

WE shall be very far from the truth if we suppose that Christian precepts have suffered any degeneration of meaning. If we imagine that the precepts of the Gospel were more stern in apostolic times than in these later ages, we labor under a very gross and dang…

THIS is a very remarkable day for me, for if I am spared to preach this present sermon, I shall have completed 20 years of printed discourses issued week by week. This will be the last sermon of my 20 th volume, making 1,209 in all. This is by no means a commo…

SINNERS are not all of the laughing sort, Cain’s mind was angry, and his heart was heavy. The short life of the vicious is not always a merry one. See, here you have a man who is utterly without God, but he is not without sorrow. His countenance has fallen, hi…

LET it never be forgotten that, in all that God does, He acts from good reasons. You observe that the text, speaking of the sick man, represents God as saying, “Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.” If I understand the passage as rela…

SOME will say that this is a mixed congregation, and that such a doctrine as this should not be advanced in the presence of ungodly men and women. This shows how little such objectors read their Bible, for this very text was spoken by the Savior, not to His lo…

THE Book of the Lamentations of Jeremiah is very dolorous. When you look upon the dragons, and owls, and pelicans, and bitterns of the wilderness, you have a fit picture of his mournful state. He was full of grief, like a bottle wanting vent. His heart was rea…

You will remember our taking a pathetic verse for our meditation, some little while ago, which was the prayer of a saint in trouble, whose prayer was, “Look upon my affliction and my pain.” [See Sermon #741, Volume 13—A TROUBLED PRAYER] We must now look upon t…

THIS is one of the richest passages in the Word of God. It is so full of instruction that I cannot hope to bring out even so much as a tithe of its teaching. The apostle desired for the Roman Christians that they might be in the most delightful state of mind,…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon on verses forty-three to forty-five is #2375, Found By Jesus and Finding Jesus.] I HOPE there are many here who are seeking Christ, but I feel sure that there are with us many more who can truthfully say, “We have passed beyond…

WHEN a person is very ill, one of the greatest kindnesses that you can show to him is to tell him how you felt under a similar affliction, to what physician you resorted, what remedies he prescribed, through what processes you passed, what were the symptoms co…

BUT do not all men know that God is the Lord? They should know it, for He is clearly to be seen in the works of nature. Even where no revelation has come, yet heaven and earth and sea and the rain which brings with it fruitful seasons—filling men’s hearts with…

LET us first look at the historical setting of this passage. It would seem that three Jews of the captivity had come from Babylon with a contribution towards the building of the temple at Jerusalem under Zerubbabel and Joshua. Their names are given in the tent…

JESUS had been speaking about the Father, about His going to the Father, about the Father’s house and about going there, and He was asked by Thomas this question, “We know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?” We are to understand this verse as…

YOU know the circumstances to which these words refer. The boastful Syrian king had been utterly defeated, and his army destroyed. He himself had fled into an inner chamber in desperate fear of his life, but being informed that the kings of Israel were mercifu…

“WITHOUT faith,” says the text, “it is impossible to please God.” Yet all men have not faith. Even among those who have heard the Gospel, many have not obeyed it. Isaiah is not the only one who has had to cry, “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the…

AS the result of a very simple incident, a sublime truth may be proclaimed. It was so in the instance referred to in this chapter. These Corinthians had misrepresented the apostle Paul, and spoken ill of him.

THIS wonderful transaction of “the LORD’s release” came at the end of every seven years. It was according to the gracious law of God for Israel that there should be, first of all, a rest one day in seven.

INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S DAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1888, DELIVERED AT THE LORD’S SUPPER BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.

EVEN in the Christian church we have great diversities of opinion as to what is the true form of worship. One stoutly cries, “Lo here,” and another as earnestly says, “Lo there!” There are some who think that the more simple and plain the outward worship can b…

THIS first chapter of the epistle to the Romans is a dreadful portion of the Word of God. I should hardly like to read it all through aloud, it is not intended to be so used. Read it at home and be startled at the awful vices of the Gentile world. Unmentionabl…

BELOVED friends, we have very much to learn from our Lord’s temptation. He was tempted in all points, like as we are. If you will study the temptation of Christ, you will not be ignorant of Satan’s devices. If you see how He worsted the enemy, you will learn w…

OH, that something would move this great city of ours! I am afraid that at least one-third of our population is settling down in stolid indifference to all religion. It is not that there are thousands of professed infidels, but without making the profession of…

AS much as lies in us, we should seek to do good unto all men, and we can never know to whom we may be rendering service. These people of Malta never dreamed that they were entertaining an apostle and it never entered into their heads that their simple act of…
