Sonship Questioned

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 12, 1899

IN speaking upon the temptation of our Lord, I want first to say a few words that ought always to be remembered by those who are tempted, lest they be surcharged with unnecessary sorrow. And to begin with, I remark that there is no sin in being tempted. Even w…

The Royal Prerogative

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 15, 1880

WHATEVER may be said of the Old Testament dispensation, however dimly it may have revealed certain truths, there was one matter about which it was clear as the sun. Under the Old Testament economy the Lord God of Israel is always most conspicuous. God is in al…

Lovely, But Lacking

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 26, 1912

THOUGH the Gospel of Jesus Christ most certainly addresses itself to the vilest of the vile, it is not exclusively to such that the message of salvation is sent. There are indeed no characters so far gone in vice that the Gospel does not speak to them. However…

Could He Not? Ah! But He Would Not

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 20, 1914

HERE was very good reasoning. Jesus Christ had opened the eyes of the blind, could He not, therefore, have healed Lazarus of the disease which proved fatal? Of course, He could. He who can avert one evil can avert another. It could have been no more difficult…

The Double “Come”

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 10, 1881

WE have open before us the last page of the Word of God. The Spirit of God will not dictate a single fresh line of truth. We have come to the last chapter and very soon we shall reach the Amen! We are also, according to divine Revelation, approaching the last…

Thought Condemned, Yet Commanded

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 1, 1906

THESE are soothing words to read, but difficult words to put into practice. Had anyone except the Lord Jesus Christ uttered them, we might have quoted to Him that ancient saying, “Physician, heal thyself,” for we shall never find any other teacher who is himse…

Women’s Rights—a Parable

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 22, 1909

BY the help of God the Holy Spirit, I want to use this incident which forms a kind of episode in the rehearsal of the history of Israel’s forty years’ wanderings in the wilderness, for a twofold purpose. First, let me indicate its general teaching. And secondl…

Perfect Justification and Perfect Pardon

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 27, 1902

I DO not profess to have attained sufficient proficiency in interpreting the prophetical parts of Holy Scripture to be able to enter, as some can, into the minutiae of the future, and to tell when any particular promise will have its actual, literal fulfillmen…

At School

Charles Spurgeon

THIS is a prayer about doing, but it is perfectly free from legal taint. The man who offered it had no idea of being saved by his doings, for in the second verse of the psalm he had said, “Enter not into judgment with Your servant: for in Your sight shall no m…

A Miniature Portrait of Joseph

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 24, 1881

SCRIPTURE frequently sums up a man’s life in a single sentence. Here is the biography of Joseph sketched by Inspiration—“God was with him,” so Stephen testified in his famous speech recorded in Acts 7:9. Here is the life story of Abraham—“Abraham believed God.…

“And We Are”: a Jewel From the Revised Version

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 19, 1886

NO. 1934 A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, DECEMBER 19, 1886, DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON, ON LORD’S-DAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1885.

A Lost Christ Found

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 26, 1899

WHAT a precious treasure must the child Jesus have been to His parents! You who have children whom you love, not merely because they are yours, but because you discover in them traits of character which are signs of divine grace, can tell in some measure how p…

Why May I Rejoice?

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 29, 1876

You will remember that last Lord’s-day we saw our Lord correcting a very natural grief, and supplying its place by a more needful sorrow, as He said to the women, “Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children” [See No. 1320—“Wherefore Should…

A New Song for New Hearts

Charles Spurgeon • May 1, 1870

THIS prophesy is said by some to relate to the invasion by Sennacherib. That calamity threatened to be a very terrible display of divine anger. It seemed inevitable that the Assyrian power would make an utter desolation of all Judea, but God promised that He w…

Fencing the Table

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 7, 1904

THERE are two symbolical ordinances in the Christian Church, and only two—Believers’ baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These have been so misinterpreted, perverted, and abused, that the wish has sometimes crossed the mind of spiritual persons that they had never…

Real Contact with Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 24, 1908

[Other sermons in the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, on the healing of this poor woman are #1809, May I?

A Sad Confession

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 21, 1916

YOU will find in the margin of some of your Bibles that this passage is rendered, “He hid, as it were, his face from us.” The literal translation of the Hebrew would be, “He was as a hiding of faces from him,” or “from us.” Some critical readers think these wo…

Joy in Place of Sorrow

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 11, 1897

JOY is the normal condition of a believer. His proper state, his healthy state, is that of happiness and gladness. As I have often reminded you, it has become a Christian duty for believers to be glad. “Rejoice in the Lord,” is a precept given to us over and o…

Healing and Pardon

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 20, 1886

THIS whole chapter was a gracious message from God to a people who were in extremis . They were made to drink the foulest dregs of sorrow through the invasion of the Assyrians. The highways were waste, the wayfarer ceased, the earth mourned and languished, Leb…

Where True Prayer Is Found

Charles Spurgeon • May 5, 1878

DAVID had first found it in his heart to build a house for God. Sitting in his house of cedar, he resolved that the ark of God should no longer abide under curtains, but should be more suitably housed.

The Sages, the Star, and the Savior

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 25, 1870

THE incarnation of the Son of God was one of the greatest events in the history of the universe. Its actual occurrence was not, however, known to all mankind, but was specially revealed to the shepherds of Bethlehem and to certain wise men of the east. To shep…

More and More

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 2, 1871

WHEN sin conquered the realm of manhood, it slew all the minstrels except those of the race of Hope. For humanity, amid all its sorrows and sins, hope sings on. To believers in Jesus there remains a royal race of bards, for we have a hope of glory, a lively ho…

A Prayer for Revival

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 18, 1895

BRETHREN, if you will pray this prayer, it will be better than my preaching from it. And my only motive in preaching from it is that you may pray it. Oh, that at once, before I have uttered more than a few sentences, we might begin to pray by crying, yea, groa…

The Soul’s Crisis

Charles Spurgeon

SUCH was the news of that day. As an exclamation, doubtless it was often repeated when our Lord made His journeys through the land of Palestine and its outskirts—“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by!” How quickly would the inhabitants of their cities and their villag…
