LAST Lord’s-day I tried to draw the fair portrait of a believing man, putting his feet into God’s steps, and keeping God’s way even unto the end. This morning we shall show in what circumstances such men were produced. We shall discover that they were not nurs…

IT is the distinguishing mark of God’s people that they know the love of Christ. Without exception all those who have passed from death unto life, whatever they may not know, have learned this. Without exception all those who are not saved, whatever they may k…

IT IS the business of a shepherd not only to look after the happy ones among the sheep, but to seek after the sick of the flock, and to lay himself out right earnestly for their comfort and succor. I feel, therefore, that I do rightly when I this morning make…

IT is our earnest desire that all who are in Christ may be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. I would earnestly wish to see such spiritual life among us that every man had reached the very height of holy manhood, and was in possession of the ut…

WE shall not enter into any profitless discussion this morning. We take it for granted that the Song of Solomon is a sacred marriage song between Christ and His church and that it is the Lord Jesus who is here speaking of His church and indeed of each individu…

THIS twofold incident, the trembling of the guards, and the comforting of the women, seems to me to have a great deal about it in the form of a type. I think it may be looked upon as an illustration of what has often occurred, and will probably occur again and…

I LATELY received a New Year’s card, which suggested to me the topic on which I am about to speak to you. The designer of the card has, with holy insight, seen the relation of the two texts to each other, and rendered both of them eminently suggestive by placi…

PAUL is writing concerning the new creation, and he says that, in it, “There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all.” The new creation is a very different thing from the old one. Blessed…

THIS was not the penalty which might have been pronounced upon Adam. This curse does not fall directly on him—it glances obliquely and falls upon the ground whereon he stands—“Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” It is not from materialism that a curse comes up…

IT is very natural that there should be many surprising things in the Gospel, for it is beyond measure remarkable that there should be a Gospel at all. As soon as I begin thinking of it I exclaim with Bunyan, “O world of wonders, I can say no less.” And I invi…

SOME men have a very remarkable power of creating and sustaining friendship in others. David was a man brimming over with affection—a man, notwithstanding all his rough soldier life, of an exceedingly tender heart—a man, I was about to say—the word was on my t…

JOHN the Baptist’s one business was to bear witness to Christ. He was the morning star which heralds the rising sun. When the sun appeared he had no more reason for shining. You cannot account for John except by Jesus—the one reason for John’s existence is Jes…

I will read you the text as it is given in the Revised Version, “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ?” That is to say, is it not one form of expressing the communion of the blood of Christ? “The bread,” or as it is…

FAITH is not only the door by which we enter into the way of salvation, as it is written, “He hath opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles,” but it likewise describes the entire path of Christian pilgrimage, “that we also walk in the steps of that faith.” W…

BRIEFLY let us rehearse the circumstances. The child Isaac was, according to God’s Word, to be the heir of Abraham. Ishmael, the elder son of Abraham, by the bondwoman Hagar, resided at home with his father till he was about eighteen years of age. But when he…

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 3, 1901
IT is well to notice that believers are to be constrained to Christian duty by Gospel motives rather than by legal arguments. It is poor work to try to stir up a Christian to perform an act of grace by an argument fetched from a heathen moralist. And it is equ…

THE greatness and majesty of the Most High God are utterly inconceivable. The most masterly minds, when in the most spiritual state, have felt it impossible for the utmost stretch of their imagination to reach to the grandeur of God. Our loftiest conceptions o…

I DESIRE to draw your attention at this time to the great necessity which exists for the continual manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in the church of God, if by her means the multitudes are to be gathered to the Lord Jesus. I did not know how I cou…

THE brethren who had dwelt together in church fellowship at Jerusalem were scattered abroad by persecution which arose about Stephen; their Master had told them that when they were persecuted in one city, they were to flee to another; they obeyed His command,…

THE divine discipline had succeeded well with the apostle Paul. There was danger of his being exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelation which he received and therefore there was given him a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet him—…

THE great folly of awakened sinners lies in looking to themselves. When they are convinced that they are lost, when the law condemns them, when they have the sentence of death ringing with its dolorous knell through their consciences, they nevertheless turn to…

When Judah was in sore distress, the sign that she should be delivered was Immanuel. “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14). When no other ray of comfort could be found, light came from the promise of th…
