GOD’S great design in all His works is the manifestation of His glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of Himself. He cannot act for the good of His creatures as an ultimate aim, for that were for God to be impelled by a motive less great than His own nat…

FOOLISH persons have made remarks upon the trifles of Scripture. They have marveled why so little a matter as a cloak should be mentioned in an inspired book, but they ought to know that this is one of the many indications that the book is by the same author a…

WE all believe that our Savior has very much to do with the covenant of eternal salvation. We have been accustomed to regard Him as the Mediator of the covenant, as the Surety of the covenant, and as the scope or substance of the covenant. We have considered H…

WHEN men will not learn of God, how huge their folly grows! If they despise the wisdom that is from above, how grievously does God allow them to prove their own ignorance! When a man will not bow down before God the Most High, immediately he builds for himself…

THE sermon which I preached two Lord’s days ago upon the accidents, has caused considerable consternation among pious people with weak heads. Their idea that all calamities are judgments, is so inveterate a prejudice, and so favorite a dogma, that our exposure…
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 4, 1860
IT is peculiarly pleasing to the Christian to observe the interest which God the Father takes in the work of salvation. In our earlier days of childhood in grace, we conceived the idea that God the Father was only made propitious to us through the atonement of…

I HAD exhausted my time this morning by describing the feast of Satan—how at the four tables where the profligate sat, the self-righteous, the worldly, and the secretly sinful, the course of Satan was always on this wise—first the good wine, and when men had w…

UPON other occasions I have explained the main part of this verse—“The government shall be upon his shoulders, his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God.” If God shall spare me, on some future occasion I hope to take the other titles, “The…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 19, 1857
THE apostle, by a highly ingenious and powerful argument, had proved that the law was never intended by God for the justification and salvation of man. He declares that God made a covenant of grace with Abraham long before the law was given on Mount Sinai, tha…
Charles Spurgeon • Aug 29, 1858
OF all substances, blood is the most mysterious and in some senses the most sacred. Scripture teaches us—and after all there is very much philosophy in Scripture—that “The blood is the life thereof”—that the life lies in the blood. Blood, therefore, is the mys…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 30, 1855
IT has generally been considered that the passage of the Jordan by the Israelites is typical of death, and that Canaan is a fitting representation of heaven. We believe that in some sense it is true, and we do fondly cherish the household words of those hymns…

THE narrative, of which our text forms a part, describes a scene which took place immediately after the transfiguration of our Lord. Not to divorce it therefore from its connection, let us glance at the antecedents of the case that nothing may be lost by negli…
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 14, 1857
AT the outset, let us remark the carefulness of the Holy Spirit in guarding the honor of our blessed Lord. This verse is often quoted as if it run thus—“They sing the song of Moses and the Lamb.” This mistake has led many weak minds to wonder at the expression…

THERE are some spots in Europe which have been the scenes of frequent warfare, as for instance, the kingdom of Belgium, which might be called the battlefield of Europe. War has raged over the whole of Europe, but in some unhappy spots, battle after battle has…

OUR Savior said, “This is the first and great commandment.” It is “ the first” commandment—the first for antiquity , for this is older than even the ten commandments of the written law. Before God said, “Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal,” t…

THIS is God’s complaint against Ephraim. It is no mean proof of His goodness, that He stoops to rebuke His erring creatures. It is a great argument of His gracious disposition that He bows His head to notice terrestrial affairs. He might, if He pleased, wrap H…
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 3, 1859
IT seems as if doubt were doomed to be the perpetual companion of faith. As dust attends the chariot wheels so do doubts naturally becloud faith. Some men of little faith are perpetually enshrouded with fears, their faith seems only strong enough to enable the…

THE changes of society may well illustrate the immutability of God. In the days of David, Jerusalem was looked upon as an impregnable fortress. It is surrounded by a natural rampart of hills and appears to lie in the center of an amphitheatre raised purposely…
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 21, 1862
IT was needful that it should be distinctly proven, beyond all dispute, that our Lord sprang out of Judah. It was necessary also, that He should be born in Bethlehem-Ephratah, according to the Word of the Lord which He spoke by His servant Micah. But how could…

THIS prophecy was uttered when the city of Jerusalem was reduced to the direst extremity. The Assyrian hosts threatened the city with utter destruction. Rabshakeh, a fitting herald for his tyrannical master, had advanced to invest the walls while Sennacherib t…

STRONG towers were a greater security in a bygone age than they are now. Then when troops of marauders invaded the land, strong castles were set upon the various hilltops, and the inhabitants gathered up their little wealth and fled thither at once. Castles we…

THE Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Having neither beginning of days, nor end of years, He is a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec. But the views which His people have of Him are extremely varied. According to our progre…

ONE evening last week I stood by the seashore when the storm was raging. The voice of the Lord was upon the waters And who was I that I should tarry within doors when my Master’s voice was heard sounding along the water? I rose and stood to behold the flash of…

LET me explain the events of which a summary is to be found in 2 Samuel 6, and 1 Chronicles 13:15. The ark of the covenant was a kind of chest made of shittimwood and lined inside and out with gold. Within this ark were preserved the tables of stone which were…
