The Power of the Risen Savior

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 25, 1874

THE change from “the man of sorrows” before His crucifixion to the “Lord over all” after His resurrection is very striking. Before His passion He was well known by His disciples, and appeared only in one form, as the Son of man, clad in the common peasant’s ga…

The Soul’s Food and Drink

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 7, 1910

IT was our Lord Jesus Christ who uttered these words and some of those who heard Him misunderstood His meaning, for they asked, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” This is not altogether surprising, for there are still millions of persons upon the ear…

A Prince and a Savior

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 25, 1876

THE same fact appears very differently to different people. Our Lord Jesus, having risen from the dead, was exalted with the right hand of God. To the Jewish priests and rulers this was a dreadful announcement. They could not endure to hear that Jesus, whom th…

Personal and Effectual Calling

Charles Spurgeon • May 6, 1894

IF you were near an Eastern village, you would probably see a large square, walled about with stones rolled roughly one upon another. You would also see a gate, and perhaps more than one entrance into this enclosure. The square is empty through the day, for th…

Negotiations for Peace

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 18, 1870

THESE words were addressed to an admirable congregation, all met with an earnest purpose, all conscious that they were in the presence of God, all like good soil that had been ploughed and prepared for the good seed. Happy preacher to have such a congregation.…

Walking in the Light of the Lord

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 10, 1901

We may regard this invitation, first of all, as addressed to the Jews. According to the preceding verses, the Gentiles are to be brought in, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of t…

Consulting with Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1902

THOSE of you who were here, last Thursday evening, will recollect that I spoke to you upon our Savior’s words, “The queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to h…

“A Little Sanctuary”

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 8, 1888

THE text begins with “therefore.” There was a reason for God’s speaking in this way. It is profitable to trace the why and the wherefore of the gracious words of the Lord. The way by which a promise comes usually shines with a trail of light. Upon reading the…

Church Increase

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1900

MEN who have no grace in their hearts despise the church of God. Those who have only a little grace have but slight sympathy with her condition. Men who have great grace, and are conscious of having received much mercy from God, have great sympathy with the ch…

Perfect Cleansing

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 7, 1861

SOME think that this text has reference to the blood of the persecuted and martyred Israel. God had by terrible judgments avenged Himself of the different nations who had carried His people captive, and according to some expositors, in this verse He threatens…

The Spur

Charles Spurgeon

I FIND that these words, and those which precede them, have been considered by some to be a sarcastic address to those persons of an epicurean spirit who consider this world to be everything and will not believe that there is a world to come. They are bidden t…

Pictures of Life

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 7, 1909

[This Sermon was delivered by Mr. Spurgeon on the evening before he came of age, having been born on June 19, 1834. A much later sermon on the same verse is #1773, What is Your Life?

Shoes for Pilgrims and Warriors

Charles Spurgeon • May 6, 1909

THE Christian was evidently intended to be in motion, for here are shoes for his feet. His head is provided with a helmet, for he is to be thoughtful. His heart is covered with a breastplate, for he is to be a man of feeling. His whole nature is protected by a…

Onward!

Charles Spurgeon • May 25, 1873

SO far as his acceptance with God is concerned, a Christian is complete in Christ as soon as he believes. Those who have trusted themselves in the hands of the Lord Jesus are saved, and they may enjoy holy confidence upon the matter, for they have a divine war…

A Question for Hard-Hearted Hearers

Charles Spurgeon

THESE expressions are proverbs, probably taken from the familiar adages of the country, but, anyhow, right worthy to be used as proverbs. The wiser men become, the more sententious are their utterances, the more terse and full of meaning are their sayings, and…

Consolation From Resurrection

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 30, 1888

THIS verse stands in the midst of a long line of threats. Like a rock of mercy, it rises in the midst of a sea of wrath. Hence many critics have felt bound to see in it a continuation of threatening. I am quite content to accept the united authority of the Aut…

Jesus and His Forerunner

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 15, 1903

THE unbelieving and infuriated Jews again and again took up stones to cast at our Lord, and here they sought to take Him prisoner, but He escaped from them, apparently with the greatest possible ease.

Grace Preferred to Gifts

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 30, 1900

THERE are among us many who have recently joined the visible church of Christ. We have heartily welcomed them, and we desire always to entertain concerning them a joyous feeling of thankfulness that they have united with us. May they never have to regret it, a…

Withholding Corn

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 30, 1865

IF I dared, I should always preach upon the comfortable promises and gracious doctrines of God’s Word. I find it most delightful and easy work to expatiate upon those themes of revelation which abound in sweetness, and are full of savor and preciousness to the…

Two Ancient Proverbs

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 20, 1908

WE have two ancient proverbs here, each of them is true as a separate proverb, but they are equally true when linked together. The independent proposition, that the fear of man brings a snare, is a truth which experience has taught to many. The other propositi…

Is It Nothing to You?

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 11, 1881

SYMPATHY with suffering ones is never content to act her part alone. The man who is sorrowful for another is sure to invite others to join him in his sympathy. It seems to him so sad a thing that he would have all men weep over it with himself. It is so great…

Hope for Your Future

Charles Spurgeon

THESE words were spoken to the mountains, valleys and rivers of Judah; and we know that the Lord cares not for hills and rivers, but He speaks altogether for the sake of His people. The blessing to the land was intended to be a blessing to the people. We shall…

But a Step

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 29, 1885

THIS was David’s description of his own condition. King Saul was seeking to destroy him. The bitter malice of that king would not be satisfied with anything short of the blood of his rival. Jonathan did not know this. He could not believe so badly of his fathe…

Number 2400—or, “Escape for Thy Life!”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 17, 1895

THE Lord Himself said to Lot, “Escape for thy life,” although the command was sent by one of His chosen messengers. God has messengers nowadays, and He still sends by them short, sharp, urgent, stimulating messages like this, “Escape for thy life.” This messag…
