“Lo, I Come”—Exposition

Charles Spurgeon

Explained to us by the apostle Paul in Hebrews 10:5-7—

I SHALL not attempt fully to explain this great little parable. A full exposition may be left for another occasion. The parable may be understood to relate to our Lord Himself, who is the living seed.

Silver Sockets—or, Redemption the Foundation.

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 30, 1881

WILL you kindly open your Bibles to Exodus 30, for I must commence my discourse by expounding that passage. When the account was taken of the number of the children of Israel, the Lord commanded that every male over twenty years of age should pay half a shekel…

Travailing for Souls

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 3, 1871

Israel had fallen into the lowest condition, but an inward yearning of heart was felt in the midst of God’s people for the return of the divine blessing. And no sooner had this anxious desire become intense than God heard the voice of its cry and the blessing…

Feeding on the Word

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 16, 1892

HOW important it is that we should hear God, that we should have an attentive ear to His Word, and that it should, through our ears, reach our souls, and become to us, consciously, the living Word of the living God! The great gate of commerce between heaven an…

Christ the Cure for Troubled Hearts

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 14, 1895

IT seems, from these questions of our Lord, that true believers may come into a troubled state of mind. The eleven were truly Christ’s disciples, and even His apostles, yet, when their faith failed them and they refused to believe the testimony that Christ was…

Prayer to God in Trouble an Acceptable Sacrifice

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 9, 1879

THE Lord God in this Psalm is described as having a controversy with His people. He summons heaven and earth to hear Him while He utters His reproof. This indictment will show us what it is that the Lord sets the greatest store by, for His complaint will evide…

The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 9, 1882

FROM long sickness my mind is scarcely equal to the work before me. Certainly, if I had ever sought after brilliance of thought or language, I should have failed today, for I am almost at the lowest stage of incapacity. I have only been comforted in the though…

God’s Care of Elijah

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 24, 1911

WHAT a mighty master of the art of prayer was Elijah the Tishbite! He was one of those who had the power to shut up heaven, so that it did not rain. He did not merely prophesy, “As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor…

The Holy Spirit

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 9, 1870

THIS psalm is beyond all others a photograph of penitent David. You have probably seen that interesting slab of stone which bears on its surface indications of the fall of raindrops in a primeval shower. This psalm preserves the marks of David’s teardrops for…

Two Essential Things

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1889

THIS was the practical drift of Paul’s teaching at Ephesus and everywhere else. He kept back nothing which was profitable to them. And the main profit he expected them to derive from his teaching the whole counsel of God was this—that they should have “repenta…

Secret Sins Driven Out by Stinging Hornets

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 28, 1866

LET us spiritualize the story of the conquest of Canaan by the children of Israel. Canaan was given to Abraham and to his seed by a covenant of salt. Our body, soul, and spirit are given to Christ Jesus to be His portion and His heritage, and the newborn princ…

The Christian’s Glorious Inventory

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1898

IT appears, from this epistle, that the Christians at Corinth were very much divided on account of certain ministers who had at different times preached amongst them the Word of God. Some of them felt a deep attachment to Paul, and they said, “We are of Paul,”…

The Holdfasts of Faith

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 17, 1890

ABRAHAM had received an assurance from the Lord that he was to be the father of many nations.

“Repentance and Remission”

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 17, 1910

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #1729, “Beginning at Jerusalem”.] THIS verse is among our Lord’s last words to His disciples just before He left them to return to heaven. He wished to impress upon them the truth that it was His purpose an…

Where the “If” Lies

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 14, 1883

I BELIEVE that our own Authorized Version conveys to the mind of the reader the sense intended by the Evangelist. It is, however, exceedingly probable that in exact words the Revised Version is nearer to the original. It runs thus—“And Jesus said unto Him, If…

Christ’s Love for His Vineyard

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 29, 1902

YOU are aware that these Canticles are responsive songs—that one sentence is uttered by Solomon, and the next by Solyma, his spouse. We believe that in this “Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s,” we also hear Christ speaking to His church, His bride, and the chu…

Great Spoil

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 22, 1882

IN the preceding verse David had avowed his reverence for God’s word in the following language, “My heart stands in awe of Your word.” It is clear that holy awe is perfectly consistent with intense delight. Fear seems to stand far apart from joy, and yet in th…

Published on Thursday, April 25, 1912

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 25, 1912

THERE is a thirst which is peculiar to the believer. He can say, with David, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Delightful thirst! Would God we had more of it! May we be longing and panting after our God in that…

Lost Through One—Saved Through One

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 15, 1901

MY one and only desire, at this time, is to help those who are sincerely seeking salvation, that they may find it, and find it speedily. Ignorance often hinders sinners from coming to Christ. I know that it did so in my own case. I have often thought that, if…

Over Against the Sepulcher

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 24, 1878

MARY MAGDALENE and the other Mary were last at the Savior’s grave. They had associated themselves with Joseph and Nicodemus in the sad but loving task of placing the body of their Lord in the silent tomb, and after the holy men had gone home they lingered near…

The Wondrous Covenant

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 31, 1912

THE doctrine of the divine covenant lies at the root of all true theology. It has been said that he who well understands the distinction between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace is a master in divinity. I am persuaded that most of the mistakes w…

One More Cast of the Great Net

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 28, 1886

I THOUGHT within myself, “What shall be the topic for the last sermon before I depart to my quiet resting place?” Perhaps my sermons for the last day of this long stretch of work may be my last altogether, for life is very frail. When I hear of first one and t…

“Blessed in Him”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 9, 1896

I WISH that I could speak at my very best concerning the glorious HIM who is mentioned in the text, but I have hardly got into full working order after my season of rest. One’s voice becomes rusty, like an unused key, and one does not at first feel quite at ea…
