CONTINUALLY I am clearing the ground and laying the foundation of eternal salvation in the grace of God which was manifested in Christ Jesus when He came into the world to save sinners. This I did this morning and the Lord has set His seal thereon right speedi…

YOU were not here, I am thankful to say, last Lord’s-Day evening, for it was your duty and privilege to stay away to give others an opportunity of hearing. My subject then, [Sermon #1414, No Difference ] was our heavenly Father who makes His sun to rise upon t…

I HAVE “one thing” in view—“one thing” on which I want to rivet your attention. Forbear with me if I detain you a few minutes before announcing a text. It has been said that a man of one book is terrible in the force of his convictions. He has studied it so we…

THESE two sentences have been looked upon as representing two sides of Christian doctrine. They enable us to see it from two standpoints—the Godward and the manward. The first sentence contains what some call high doctrine. If by “high” they mean “glorious tow…

THERE is something very tender about the supper which Christ has instituted, for it very specially concerns Himself. Other things set forth the truths which He taught, or the blessings which He purchased, or the duties which He enjoined, but this supper has ma…

OUR Lord Jesus Christ has suffered for sin and He has suffered to the utmost extent, for He has paid the death penalty on His people’s behalf. Look at the eighteenth verse of the previous chapter, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the…

THE time of flowers has come, and as they are in some faint degree emblems of our Lord, it is well, when God thus calls, that we should seek to learn what He desires to teach us by them. If nature now spreads out her roses and her lilies, or prepares to do so,…

THE text is a somewhat singular one, but I hope it will suggest a profitable idea. Elisha needed that the Holy Spirit should come upon him to inspire him with prophetic utterances. “Holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” We need that the…

TRUE repentance is always accompanied by sorrow. It has been said by some of those of modern times who disparage repentance that repentance is “nothing but a change of mind.” These words sound as if there was merely some superficial meaning to them, and so ind…

RATHER more than eight years ago, I remember to have addressed you from these very words. You will find the sermon in the printed series [See Sermon #512—“A Precious Drop of Honey”] But such a text as this is to be preached hundreds of times. It is quite impos…

IF we would understand these words aright, we must remember that the people here mentioned were not good people—they were a set of hypocrites. This is quite clear if we read the verses that follow our text—“Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest no…

THAT this psalm was written by David we see no reason to doubt. In the previous verses we have the words of the psalmist himself. Here, however, there is a change of speaker. The promise is spoken by God Himself in these three closing sentences. Doubtless the…

THESE are the words of Jesus on the cross, which the inspired prophet wrote beforehand concerning Him. When the Savior uttered this sentence, He had just passed through the experience of a seeker as far as it was possible for Him to do so. He had been engaged…

VERY simple is the way of salvation, very plain is the road home. The chapter begins with it, “Come, and let us return unto the LORD.” By going away from the Lord, we have lost our privileges, have become wounded, and have lost ourselves. To find all these thi…

THE true test of any action lies in its motive. Many a deed, which seems to be glorious, is really mean and ignoble because it is done with a base intention; while other actions, which appear to be poor and paltry, if we truly understood them, would be seen to…

AS a general rule, wherever we go, whatever we do, we must “pay the fare thereof.” Expenditure is connected with every act, work, and operation. The sun does not constantly flood this world, and all its sister spheres, with light and heat without some kind of…

OUR morning’s discourse [See sermon #1,608, “The Double ‘Come’”] was upon the first part of this verse, “The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come,” and I tried to show that everyone who has truly heard the Gospel call is bound to…

DAVID sang of the compassionate pity-fullness of our heavenly Father, who will not always chide, nor keep His anger forever. He had proved in relation to himself that the Lord is not easily provoked, but is plenteous in mercy. Remembering how feeble and how fr…

LAST Sabbath morning we treated upon the way by which faith comes to the soul. “Faith cometh by hearing.” It is our joyful persuasion that on the past Sabbath faith actually came to many, and they were enabled to rest themselves upon the Lord Jesus Christ to t…

THERE lay Lazarus in the grave, dead. His restoration to life was utterly hopeless upon any ordinary principles. Certainly Lazarus could not raise himself, his affectionate sisters could not, with all their weeping, give him a resurrection, nor could the disci…

BEHOLD, dear brethren, the overflowing, ever-flowing power of our Lord Jesus Christ. He had wrought a great work upon the centurion’s servant, and now, only a day after, he raises the dead. “It came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain.”…

NO. 221 I AM a prisoner still. Weakness has succeeded pain, and languor of mind is the distressing result of this prostration of my physical powers. It is the Lord’s doing. In some sense I might say with Paul, “I am a prisoner of Jesus Christ.” But ah! my bond…

SO near, so very near the change—his removal from this to another world, and so very conscious of it. Yet Paul looked back with calm satisfaction. He looked forward with sweet assurance and he looked round with deepest interest on the mission that had engaged…
