IF we are believers in Christ, we shall one day use words like these. Perhaps not just at present, and yet, possibly, sooner than some of us think, we shall gather up our feet in our bed and we shall say with all composure, “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant…

OBSERVE that the verse which precedes the text describes the Lord as appearing in His glory. His Zion is to be built up, and therefore her King puts on the robes of His splendor. The imagery sets forth the Lord as a great Monarch, superintending with great pom…

THIS is the point where all genuine Christians meet. They can all say, without exception, “We love him.” They do not agree in doctrine, it is a pity, but what they did, but I suppose that, so long as we are in this body, we shall none of us see all the truths…

In our reading we had a very wonderful description of God’s delivering mercy towards His servant David. He was very peculiarly tried in the court of Saul. He deserved so much of the king that it was doubly difficult for David to be treated so badly. He had bee…

THE apostle is drawing certain inferences from the covenant of grace, upon which he has been enlarging. He shows that God has made a covenant with His people by which they are effectually preserved. “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those…

THE children of this world are wise in their generation. Their policy may be short-sighted and their stratagems crooked, nevertheless the world admires the wisdom of their counsels and makes light of the craftiness of their projects. In their opposition to the…

NOTE well the expression. Jesus “went into their synagogue and behold , there was a man which had his hand withered.” A mark is set, as it were, in the margin, as if it were a notable fact. That word, “be- hold” is a sort of note of exclamation to draw attenti…

WE have come to another census, an important stopping place in the march of a nation’s history.

WE know that this Scripture speaks concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. We don’t say this as if we relied upon our own opinion. We know it, of a surety from the Lord’s own lips, for, reading this passage in the synagogue at Nazareth, He said, “This day is this sc…

CAN your minds fly back to the time when there was no time, to the day when there was no day but the Ancient of Days? Can you speed back to that period when God dwelt alone, when this round world and all the things that be upon it, had not come from His hand,…

JEROBOAM had proved false to the Lord who had placed him upon the throne of Israel, and the time was come for his overthrow. The Lord, who usually brings forth the rod before He lifts the axe, sent sickness into his house, his son Abijah was sorely sick. Then…

THE course of our fallen race has been a succession of failures. Whenever there has been an apparent rise, it has been followed by a real fall. Into ever-increasing darkness the human mind seems resolved to plunge itself in its struggles after a false light. W…

THIS text is pitched in the royal key. It has nothing of the caution and doubting of man about it.
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 9, 1866
THIS expression is highly characteristic of the Savior from its figurative form. While He was on earth, without a parable spoke He not unto the people, and speaking out of heaven, in this instance, He still adopts the parabolic style, as He did in Patmos when…

THIS is a text which, by the rich assistance of the Holy Ghost, may serve as a touchstone to try our state. See, here are two classes of men, the many, panting after the good of this world, and the few, turning the eye of faith to their God, and begging that H…

IF you desire to know the character or a child, you will probably learn much about it from observing the father. The young bird flies and sings as its father did before it. If we would know the life of the child of faith, we should study the history of the “fa…

ALTHOUGH this was addressed to Solomon, it may, without any violence to the truth, be addressed tonight to every unconverted person here present, for there are a great many texts of Scripture of a similar import which apply to all ungodly ones, such, for insta…

IN this psalm David has reached the Beulah land of his songs, where we hear nothing else but praise.

WE do not grudge to the seed of Israel after the flesh the first application of this very precious promise. There will be a day when those who have so long refused to acknowledge Jesus as the Messias shall discern the marks of His mission and shall mourn that…

THE proper subject to treat upon with such a text as this would be the propriety and excellence of early rising, especially when we are desirous of praising or serving God. The dew of dawn should be consecrated to devotion. The text is a very remarkable expres…

A FRIEND inquired of me yesterday, “Will you preach on Sunday morning to saints or to sinners?” I could not at the moment answer him, but afterwards I thought to myself—If I preach concerning Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, I shall kill two birds with one s…

NO sooner did the angel of the Lord appear to the shepherds, and the glory of the Lord shine round about them, than they were sorely afraid. It had come to this, that man was afraid of his God, and when God sent down His loving messengers with tidings of great…

THESE words occur in a passage where the apostle is indicating the contrast between the ungodly and the godly. The ungodly are mocking, speaking great swelling words, and walking after their ungodly lusts, while the righteous are building themselves up in thei…
