Our Lord’s Question to the Blind Men
Charles Spurgeon • May 13, 1877
IN OUR own streets we meet here and there with a blind beggar, but they swarm in Eastern cities.

Lowly Service
Charles Spurgeon • May 3, 1903
THIS is the gist of the whole matter, “This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens: and they shall bear….so shall they serve.” The Gershonites were part of the tribe of Levi, which God selected, instead of the firstborn of…
Order Is Heaven’s First Law
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 22, 1906
THOSE who have been able to observe the marching of an army of locusts have been amazed beyond measure with the marvelous regularity of their advance. Agur, who must surely have seen them, says, “The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands…
The Hope Laid Up in Heaven
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 13, 1878
THREE graces should be always conspicuous in Christians—faith, love and hope. They are each mentioned by Paul in the opening verses of the epistle from which our text is taken. These lovely graces should be so conspicuous in every believer, as to be spoken of,…
The Special Call and the Unfailing Result
Charles Spurgeon
AS I look round upon this large church, numbering far above two thousand members, my soul is often cast down within me, yea, I am brought into the lowest depths of anxiety. Who is sufficient for these things? To order and distribute its sacred offices aright,…
Public Testimony: a Debt to God and Man
Charles Spurgeon
YOU are not surprised to find that, when those four lepers, outside the gate of Samaria, had made the great discovery that the Syrian camp was deserted, they first satisfied their own hunger and thirst.
The Rocky Fortress and Its Inhabitant
Charles Spurgeon
THERE were terrible times in Jerusalem in the days of Hezekiah. The Assyrian power was exceedingly formidable, and it was ferocious to the last degree. Woe to the unhappy land which fell under the power of this spoiler. Assyria knew not the meaning of “mercy.”…
The Gospel Cordial
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 9, 1911
THESE somewhat singular sentences were spoken by the mother of Lemuel to her son, who was probably Solomon. She had already said to him, “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: lest they drink and forget…
False Justification and True
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 20, 1905
THE great question for the human race to answer has ever been this, “How can man be just with God?” It is clear to every conscience that is at all awake that the thrice-holy God demands obedience to His law and that disobedience to the divine law will certainl…
The Minister’s Plea
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 2, 1873
THE apostle was in prison, in great jeopardy of his life. He was much troubled by many who had begun to preach Jesus Christ, but did not preach Him in a proper spirit. He was often depressed by that which came daily upon him, the care of all the churches. Yet,…
A Harp of Ten Strings
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 30, 1891
IT is very clear that Mary was not beginning a new thing, for she speaks in the present tense, and in a tense which seems to have been present for a long time, “My soul does magnify the Lord.” Ever since she had received the wonderful tidings of the choice whi…
Two Loving Invitations
Charles Spurgeon
THE one text is in the beginning, and the other at the end of John’s Gospel. There is a mystery here.
The Heart Perfumed
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 30, 1913
As one reads the opening verses of this chapter, one cannot help saying, “What marvelous treasures are those which belong to the people of God!” Hezekiah took the Babylonian ambassadors through all his varied treasure houses and herein he did evil—but if you c…
“Beautiful Forever”
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 14, 1897
I FIND that the text bears other interpretations. I will mention two of them. It might be read—and I think correctly—“He will beautify the afflicted with deliverance.” Let me speak about that meaning first of all, for it is worth retaining. God’s own people ar…
Divine Gentleness Acknowledged
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 1, 1866
THERE are several readings of this text. A moment will suffice to give them to you. The word is capable of being translated, “Thy goodness hath made me great.” David saw much of benevolence in God’s action towards him, and he gratefully ascribed all his greatn…
And His Wonderful Cure
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 14, 1887
OUR Savior had been dealing with the Jews and the Pharisees, who had bitterly opposed, and even taken up stones to cast at Him. He felt much more at home when He could fix His eyes upon poor necessitous beings, and bless them with healing and salvation. It is…
Our Service for Christ Never Finished
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 12, 1893
THESE words are not addressed to the general congregation. You notice that the chapter begins, “Then said he unto the disciples.” Even they felt as if Christ’s words were too heavy for them, and so, when you get to the fifth verse, you read, “And the apostles…
The Lamentations of Jesus
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 28, 1880
ON three occasions we are told that Jesus wept. You know them well, but it may be worth while to refresh your memories. The first was when our Lord was about to raise Lazarus from the dead. He saw the sorrow of the sisters, He meditated upon the fruit of sin i…
For Whom DID Christ Die?
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 6, 1874
IN this verse the human race is described as a sick man whose disease is so far advanced that he is altogether without strength; no power remains in his system to throw off his mortal malady, nor does he desire to do so; he could not save himself from his dise…
A Bad King’s Good Son
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 19, 1912
WE must take the text, of course, with definite and full reference to its historical context. It seems that in the wicked house and family of Jeroboam, there was one godly child, and death, which very often mysteriously cuts down the green wheat, whilst it lea…
Prepared to Meet God
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 7, 1905
THERE is a peculiar solemnity about the language of our text, because albeit that the whole of Scripture is the Word of God, yet very much of it is given to us by the prophets, apostles, and other inspired writers. But here, it is God Himself who is speaking,…
God, the Children’s Teacher
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 15, 1911
[SPECIAL NOTE TO SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS, PARENTS, ETC.—Mr. Spurgeon seldom preached specially to children—his sermons are all so simple that boys and girls, as well as the common people, heard him gladly and understood his words easily. The accompanying discou…
Christ’s Great Mission
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 5, 1916
THE mission of Christ to our world was distinct and definite. The ministry of the Gospel should be alike clear and transparent. It was but the other day I read a letter from the deacon of a church in which, speaking of his minister, he said, “We ought to under…
My Comfort in Affliction
Charles Spurgeon
IT is almost needless for me to say that, in some respects, the same events happen unto all men alike—in the matter of afflictions it is certainly so. None of us can expect to escape trial. If you are ungodly, “many sorrows shall be to the wicked.” If you are…
