MOST of the miracles of Moses were grand displays of divine justice. What were the first ten wonders but ten plagues? The same may be said of the prophets, especially of Elijah and Elisha. Was it not significant both of the character and mission of Elias, when…

THE Almighty God, who dwelt alone, was pleased to manifest Himself by created works which should display His wisdom and His power. When He set about the mighty work of creation, He determined in His own mind that He would fashion a variety of works, and that a…

WHEN the heroes of old prepared for the fight, they put on their armor. But when God prepares for battle, He makes bare His arm. Man has to look two ways—to his own defense, as well as to the offense of his enemy. God has but one direction in which to cast His…

PERHAPS there are no stories that stick by us so long as those which we hear in our childhood, those tales which are told us by our fathers and in our nurseries. It is a sad reflection that too many of these stories are idle and vain, so that our minds in earl…

WHEN you have walked through a cemetery, you have frequently seen over a grave a broken column, intended to memorialize the death of some one who was taken away in the prime of manhood, before as yet his life had come to its climax. I shall take that picture o…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 22, 1858
BELOVED, it seems a sad thing that every day must die and be followed by a night. When we have seen the hills clad with verdure to their summit and the seas laving their base with a silver glory, when we have stretched our eyes faraway, and have seen the widen…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 6, 1861
THOSE of you who constantly listen to my voice are aware that on the first Sabbath of the year I always receive of a venerable Clergyman, a veteran warrior in the Lord’s hosts, a verse of Scripture which I accept as my New Year’s text, and which after being pr…

JONAH learned this sentence of good theology in a strange college. He learned it in the whale’s belly, at the bottom of the mountains, with the weeds wrapped about his head, when he supposed that the earth with her bars was about him forever. Most of the grand…

IF the story of the world’s sufferings under different tyrants could all be written, there would be no man found who would be capable of reading it. I believe that even the despots themselves, who have committed the atrocities to which I refer, would not be su…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 20, 1864
YOU have a very vivid idea of the sufferings of Christ. Your faith has seen Him sweating great drops of blood in the garden of Gethsemane. You have looked on with amazement while He gave His back to the smiters, and His cheeks to them who plucked off the hair,…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 16, 1859
THE cry of the Christian religion is the simple word, “Come.” The Jewish law said, “Go, and take heed unto thy steps as to the path in which thou shalt walk. Go, and break the commandments, and thou shalt perish; GO, and keep them, and thou shalt live.” The la…
Charles Spurgeon • May 10, 1863
In our text we have an assurance that God will answer prayer, because He has “ not said unto the seed of Israel, Seek ye my face in vain.” You, who write bitter things against yourselves, I would have you remember that, let your doubts and fears say what they…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 7, 1858
THIS verse to a worldly man looks amazingly like a contradiction, and even to a Christian man, when he understands it best, it will still be a paradox. “Ye greatly rejoice,” and yet, “ye are in heaviness.” Is that possible? Can there be in the same heart great…
Charles Spurgeon • May 2, 1858
“There’s music in all things, if men had ears; This world is but the echo of the spheres.” HEAVEN sings evermore. Before the throne of God, angels and redeemed saints extol His name.
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 21, 1863
THE apostle John presents us with a very clear and emphatic testimony to the doctrine of full and free forgiveness of sin. He declares that the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s dear Son, cleanses us from all sin, and that if any man sin, we have an Advocate. It is…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 15, 1860
SOMETIME ago an excellent lady sought an interview with me with the object as she said, of enlisting my sympathy upon the question of “Anti-Capital Punishment.” I heard the excellent reasons she urged against hanging men who had committed murder, and though th…

EVERY Sunday school child knows that there is no great mystery hidden in the words, “Alpha and Omega.” We have here the names of the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, so that the sense would be, “I am A and great O,” in the Greek, or in plain Engli…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 5, 1865
THE Lord Jesus is ever in direct and open antagonism to Satan. “I will put enmity between thee and the woman, between thy seed and her seed,” has been most emphatically fulfilled. Christ has never tolerated any truce or parley with the evil one, and never will…
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 11, 1863
ALTHOUGH the manners and customs of warfare were exceedingly rough and cruel in those primitive ages, yet, it appears that the kings of Israel gained a name for being merciful. I do not find recorded in Scripture any particularly merciful acts of theirs, and I…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1860
THIS sentence has in it the nature of a proverb. It is well worthy of frequent quotation, as it is applicable to such various circumstances. It is one of the most pithy, sententious utterances of our Savior. So full of meaning is it that it would be utterly im…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 22, 1856
ALL God’s works praise Him whether they are magnificent or minute. They all discover the wisdom, the power, and the benevolence of their Creator. “All thy works praise thee, O God.” But there are some of His more majestic works which sing the song of praise lo…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 2, 1855
THIS is one of the great guns of the Arminians, mounted upon the top of their walls, and often discharged with terrible noise against the poor Christians called Calvinists. I intend to spike the gun this morning, or rather, to turn it on the enemy, for it was…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 12, 1857
IT has been said by an eminent divine that many of us in preaching the Word suppose too great knowledge in our hearers. “Very often,” says this divine, “there are in the congregation persons who are totally unacquainted with the great science of divinity. They…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1859
THIS passage may be taken as referring to the people of Israel as a nation, and it is not less applicable to the church of God. It is one grand and grievous fault with the church of Christ at the present day, that it is not merely divided somewhat in its creed…
