THERE is only one word in the original for the phrase, “O you of little faith.” The Lord Jesusvirtually addresses Peter by the name of “Little-Faith,” in one word. I do not suppose that Peter had everbefore dreamed of that name as applicable to himself. Possib…

IN the Revised Version, if you will kindly look at the margin, you will find that the text there reads, “And kissed him much.” This is a very good translation of the Greek, which might bear the meaning, “Kissed him earnestly,” or “Kissed him eagerly,” or “Kiss…

JEREMIAH had a friend who was a black man. Ebed-Melech, the Ethiopian eunuch, had a great and tender concern for Jeremiah when he was shut up in the miry prison, and he took ropes and covered them with rags that they might not cut the poor prophet’s armpits, a…

ONE book charmed us all in the days of our youth. Is there a boy alive who has not read it? “Robinson Crusoe” was a wealth of wonders to me, I could have read it over twenty times, and never have wearied. I am not ashamed to confess that I can read it even now…

THE translators have acted very properly in inserting the words, “the use of,” for that is what the passage means, but if you read it without those words the sense is still the same—“He bade them teach the children of Judah the bow,” that is to say, how to use…

THOUGH I have taken only these few words for my text, I shall endeavor to bring the whole narrative before your mind’s eye. It is a part of the teaching of Holy Writ that man is a composite being.
Charles Spurgeon • May 5, 1904
THIS is good news, indeed, the best of news, and they will prize it most who are like the psalmist was when he wrote these words. And who are they?
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 24, 1879
IT was the purpose of God always to maintain a testimony for truth and righteousness in the midst of this ungodly world. For this end, of old He set apart for Himself a chosen family with whom He hadfellowship. Abraham was the man whom God chose, that in him a…
Charles Spurgeon • May 12, 1861
WISDOM is man’s true path—that which enables him to accomplish best the end of his being, and which, therefore, gives to him the richest enjoyment and the fullest play for all his powers. Wisdom is the compass by which man is to steer across the trackless wast…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 14, 1870
THE nation of Israel had fallen into so sad and backsliding a condition, that it was not like a vine covered with fruit, but like a vineyard after the whole vintage has been gathered, so that there was not to be found a single cluster. Not one righteous man co…
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 25, 1888
WHEN I was reading this eighty-sixth Psalm, I reminded you that the title of it is “A prayer ofDavid.” It is rightly named “A prayer,” for it is very especially filled with supplication. There are fourother psalms each called by the name Tephillah, or “prayer,…
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 16, 1905
JERUSALEM was startled by sudden news. There had for a great while been quiet preparations made in the distant countries beyond Jordan. Upon its mountains, Edom had been getting ready—the workshops of Petra had been ringing with the hammer, the enemies of Isra…

IT is impossible for any of us to tell what it cost the apostle Paul to write the first chapter of the Epistle to the Romans. It is a shame even to speak of the things which are done of the vicious in secret places, but Paul felt that it was necessary to break…
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 13, 1884
IT may be well to notice what question the apostle did not put to these Ephesian disciples of John.
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 26, 1902
GOD is essentially glorious, even were there no eyes to behold Him, no lips to hymn His praise, no intelligent creatures to obey Him, He would be infinitely glorious in Himself. Yet, nevertheless, God chooses to exhibit His glory that He may get praise out of…
Charles Spurgeon • May 5, 1861
YOU will bear me witness, my friends, that it is exceedingly seldom I ever intrude into the mysteries of the future with regard either to the second advent, the millennial reign, or the first and second resurrection. As often as we come across it in our exposi…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 29, 1866
GOD does not cease to observe the sins of His people. As the eye of Moses never waxed dim, so the eye of God does not grow dim with regard to the sins of His chosen. We may learn this from the recapitulation of those offenses which we find in the chapter befor…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 29, 1880
LAST Sunday morning the subject was redemption, “You are not your own: you are bought with a price.” The sequel to redemption is pardon. The text gives us that doctrine, for it tells us that redemption through the blood of Jesus involves the forgiveness of sin…
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 19, 1886
THE text is spoken in the first person singular, “They made me.” Therefore let the preaching tonight be personal to you, dear friends; personal to the preacher first, and then to each one of this mixed multitude. May we at this hour think less of others than o…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 16, 1861
THERE is little doubt that this Psalm has a primary reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. He it is who alone ascended up on high by His own merits and by virtue of a perfect obedience stands in God’s holy place. He alone of mortal race has clean hands and a pure…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 28, 1910
[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same miracle are #1426, The Lifting Up of the Bowed Down, and #2891, A Sabbath Miracle.] OUR text commences with a “behold”—“behold, there was a woman,” and as it was often remarked by the Puritan writers, whenever we se…

OUR Lord, after having eaten the Passover, and celebrated the supper with His disciples, went with them to the Mount of Olives, and entered the Garden of Gethsemane. What induced Him to select that place to be the scene of His terrible agony? Why there, in pre…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 26, 1914
THIS sentence stands in connection with exhortations to offer thanksgiving unto the Lord, and to make known His deeds among the people. Thus it runs, “Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.” The old typical religion of the Jews…
Charles Spurgeon • May 19, 1901
PERHAPS, before I come to the consideration of this sentence, it may be profitable, especially to the younger folk amongst us, if we think of the many points in which the passover was a type of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul tells us that “Christ our passover is…
