THIS is one of the most solemn texts in the whole Bible. It is so sweeping, it deals with us all. “If any man have not have the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” And it deals with the most important point about us, for to belong to Christ is the most essen…

OF whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself or of some other? We cannot doubt but what Isaiah wrote here was concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Is not this one of the prophecies to which our Lord Himself referred in the incident recorded in the eighteenth chapt…

“THIS do”—that is, take bread, give thanks, break it, and eat it—take the cup, filled with the fruit of the vine, give thanks, and drink you all of it. “This do.” Take care that you do just what Jesus did; no more, and no less. This act was done at a table whe…

CHRIST will not die in vain. His Father gave Him a certain number to be the reward of His soul travail, and He will have every one of them, as He said, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.” Almighty grace shall sweetly constrain them all to come. M…

THE gifts of grace are not enjoyed all at once by believers. Coming unto Christ, we are saved by a true union with Him, but it is by abiding in that union that we further receive the purity, the joy, the power, the blessedness, which are stored up in Him for H…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #2795, The Double Drawing Nigh, with which is included an exposition of the chapter from which the text is taken.] NOTICE the sentences immediately preceding our text, “Resist the devil, and he will flee fr…

THE village of the bitter spring, for that is probably the meaning of the name Maroth, experienced a bitter disappointment. At the time when the Assyrians invaded the land, the inhabitants expected that deliverance would come to them from some quarter or other…

DURING the past week the air has been balmy with the breath of spring and all nature has felt the influence of the “ethereal mildness.” The earth—of which, through the long winter, we might have said, “She is not dead, but sleeps”—has now awakened, and she beg…

THE loving Jesus saw a shade of sadness fall upon the faces of the twelve while He talked to them of His departure. Though He was Himself to die, with His usual self-forgetfulness He only thought of them, and He desired to comfort them—to comfort them about th…

IN the eternal past the Lord alone was exalted. When He dwelt alone or ever the earth was, and when He commenced the mighty works of His creation—and the universe sprang into being at the fiat of His unhindered will—He alone was exalted. He made multitudes of…

ELIJAH no doubt expected that after the wonderful display of God’s power on Carmel the nation would give up its idols, and would turn unto the only living and true God. Had they not confessed as with a voice of thunder, “JEHOVAH, he is the God; JEHOVAH, he is…

YOU will perceive that there was an exhortation to John to “Write.” Why was he specially to write these words down? I conceive that it was, first, because the information here recorded was valuable, “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper o…

YOU must have noticed how frequently godly people almost wear out their Bibles in certain places.

THE two debtors differed very considerably in the amounts which they owed. The one was in arrears five hundred pence, and the other fifty. There are differences in the guilt of sins, and in the degrees of men’s criminality. It would be a very unfair and unrigh…

I MAY have preached from this text before, I may have done so several times, if I have not, I ought to have done. It is the whole Bible in miniature. We may say of it so many words so many volumes, for every single syllable here is charged to the full with mea…

NO. 2282 A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1892 DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 18, 1898
IT is a very great folly to despise “the day of small things,” for it is usually God’s way to begin His great works with small things. We see it every day, for the first dawn of light is but feeble, and yet by and by, it grows into the full noontide heat and g…

THE persons whom Peter addressed were in great need of comfort. They were strangers, strangers scattered far from home. They had in consequence to suffer manifold trials, and therefore needed plenteous consolations. Such is our position in a spiritual sense, w…

NO doubt God had spoken to Joshua before. He had been a man of faith for many years, and his faith enabled him to distinguish himself by such simple truthfulness of character, and thoroughly faithful obedience to the Lord’s will, that he and another were the o…

WHAT misery of soul some persons endure before they find peace with God. There is no need that it should be so with them, their anguish often arises from a mistake. The Gospel is very simple, it is just, “Believe and live.” He that believes in the Lord Jesus C…

MANY in that crowd came together to behold the crucifixion of Jesus, in a condition of the most furious malice. They had hounded the Savior as dogs pursue a stag, and at last, all mad with rage, they hemmed Him in for death. Others, willing enough to spend an…

OUR Savior, before He was nailed to the cross, and on the cross, several times had drinks of different sorts offered to Him. Whilst they were nailing Him to the cross, they endeavored to make Him drink wine, or vinegar as it is called, mingled with gall. But w…

WELL did the apostle declare that the righteous scarcely are saved. It is no child’s play to be a Christian. The Christian life is beyond the poet’s meaning, real and earnest. The hills of difficulty which lie before us are no molehills, and the giants and dra…

BEFORE this can be done there are certain preliminaries. A flock cannot be fed until it is in existence. It cannot be fed, as a flock, until all the scattered sheep shall have been brought together.
