TAKEN in its most natural sense, this is certainly true of creature love. It is a mighty, all-constraining, irresistible passion. Even the love of friendship has proved itself occasionally to be “strong as death.” “Greater love hath no man than this, that he l…

IT is supposed by many that David wrote this Psalm at the time when he fled from his son Absalom.

EVERYWHERE under the old figurative dispensation, blood was sure to greet your eyes. It was the one most prominent thing under the Jewish economy, scarcely a ceremony was observed without it. You could not enter into any part of the tabernacle, but you saw tra…

AS was Christ, my brethren, when in this world, so are we also. Such indeed is our calling of God.

THE Lord Jesus Christ, who is “the root of Jesse”—“the shoot from the stock of Jesse,” as the first verse of this chapter might be rendered—is the very center of all Israel. And He is also the rallying-point of the Gentiles, for He has made both Jew and Gentil…

THE fear of punishment leads many people to think about their sins, and a dread of hell in the future fills the retrospect of their past life with gloom and remorse. This is natural. It may happen to anyone, as it has happened to tens of thousands, that the pe…

ONE is struck with the personality of this text. There are two persons in it, “you” and “Me”—that is to say, the laboring one and the tender Savior who entreats him to come that he may find rest. It is most important, if we wish to see the way of peace clearly…

JEREMIAH did not intend these verses to be a description of a sinner under conviction of sin. He was sorrowing over the woes of Jerusalem and the nation that had been so heavily punished for its sin, yet we may rightly apply his words to the most bitter of all…

IN David’s muster-roll we find the names of many mighties, and they are honored by being found there. These men came to David when his fortunes were at the lowest ebb, and he himself was regarded as a rebel and an outlaw, and they remained faithful to him thro…

IN the Christian church at this moment there is a very general desire for a revival of religion. You may go where you may among Christian people, and you will find that they are mourning over the present state of things and saying the one to the other, “When w…

WE learn from this text something concerning Ezekiel himself. He was certainly one of the greatest of the prophets. His visions remind us of those of John, both for their brightness, splendor, and number—and yet this eminent prophet was, nevertheless, styled,…

THE prayer of the Savior rises as it proceeds. He asked for His people that they might be preserved from the world, then that they might be sanctified, and then that they might be made manifestly one, and now He reaches His crowning point—that they may be with…

THE apostle Paul, writing concerning our Lord Jesus Christ, says, “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” He who, as God, knew all things, had to learn obedience in the time of His humiliation. He, who is in Himself Wi…

OUR Savior constantly taught the people by parables, and I think He would have His ministers do the same. The condition of things just now, both as to weather and business, furnishes a very plain and instructive parable which it would not be wise to pass over.…

WITHOUT any preface (for where there is such a feast before us anything which detains us from the table will be out of place), let us come at once to the delightful words of our text, and may the Holy Spirit lead us into their inner sense!

DAVID was for many years searching for a site for the great temple which he purposed to build for Jehovah his God. It had been ordained that the sacrifices offered to the one God should be offered by all Israel upon one altar, but as yet the ark of the Lord wa…

THE GIVING of the law was glorious with pomp of power. The blaze of splendor was intended to impress the people with a sense of the authority of the law, by letting them see the greatness of theLawgiver. It was meet that with great solemnity the law of the Mos…

THESE words are the hallmark of genuine conversion. “Behold, he prays” is a surer witness of a man’s conversion than, “Behold, he sings,” or, “Behold, he reads the Scripture,” or, “Behold, he preaches.” These things may be admirably done by men who are not reg…

IT is a peculiar feature in our holy religion that it begins its work within and acts first upon the heart.
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 16, 1862
TO doubt the lovingkindness of God is thought by some to be a very small sin, in fact, some have even exalted the doubts and fears of God’s people into fruits and grace, and evidences of great advancement in experience. It is humiliating to observe that certai…

IT is worthwhile to remark that this passage immediately follows the seventeenth verse, where the apostle says, “Beloved, seeing you know these things before, beware lest you also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.…

WE will say nothing at this time concerning Job, we will leave the patriarch out of the question and take these words as the exclamation forced from the aching heart of a sinner when he finds that he is lost on account of sin and can only be saved by Christ. “…

THE birth of our Lord Jesus Christ into this world is a wellspring of pure, unmingled joy. We associate with His crucifixion much of sorrowful regret, but we derive from His birth at Bethlehem nothing but delight. The angelic song was a fit accompaniment to th…
