CHRIST’S disciples, when they joined Him, had some very happy times with Him—and they had just had a very grand day in feeding the multitude. I wish I had been there to help in the feeding of five thousand men. Everyone who had a share in that service was high…

WHAT is the way, the way of salvation, the way to heaven? Jesus Christ says, “I am the way.” He is the Son of God and He left the glories of heaven and took upon Himself our nature and lived here. In due time He took upon Himself our sin and made atonement for…

MAY these striking words be made profitable to us by the teaching of the Holy Spirit.

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon this passage are as follows—#242, Christ Precious to Believers, #2137, (same title as #242) and #3014, A Sermon from a Sick Preacher] WHEN one has a cold in the head, it is a very effectual hindrance to thought, you may do w…

EZEKIEL is robed in dreadful tempest, and his whole book is “as the terrible crystal” for brightness, and for mystery, yet he often gives us visions of exceeding comfort. For instance, who can think without joy of that tender branch of the cedar which is to be…

THIS man began with Christ as a foe and he ended as a friend. It does not quite appear from Mark, but it is plainly stated by Matthew that the scribe asked a question of the Savior, “tempting Him.” He was therefore an enemy. Put the mildest sense you like on t…

HOW is it possible for the preacher to say too much about faith, or to extol this grace too highly! It is of vital importance, not at one stage of the Christian’s history only, but throughout the whole of his career, from his setting out even till he reaches t…

THIS chapter contains Paul’s loving salutation to the various Christians dwelling at Rome.

THIS slothful man seems to cherish that one dread of his about lions as if it was his favorite aversion, and he felt it to be too much trouble to invent another excuse. Perhaps he hugs it to his soul all the more because it is a home-born fear, conjured up by…

THE two remarkable miracles which our Lord worked in the Garden of Gethsemane ought not to be lightly passed over. The first was the falling to the ground of the soldiers and the servants of the priests.

THIS title was given to our divine Lord and Master by those who were disposed to cavil at Him, and were unwilling to be convinced that He was the Messiah. John the Baptist’s self-denial was pushed much too far for them. They could not understand a man wearing…

IT is not every man whose deed is as good as his word, but of the Son of Man, Christ Jesus, it may be said that whatever His lips have promised, His hands perform. He can, after the fact has transpired, turn to His disciples and say, “Said I not unto you, such…

PETER’S wife’s mother was sick of a very terrible fever. It was no ordinary one, such as, we are told, is common in the district when she lived, but “Luke, the beloved physician,” as Paul calls the evangelist, tells us that “Simon’s wife’s mother was taken wit…

IT is exceedingly beneficial to our souls to mount above this present evil world to something nobler and better. The cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches are apt to choke everything good within us, and we grow fretful, desponding, perhaps proud,…

SOME kinds of weakness are of God’s appointment, and necessarily incident to manhood. They are not sinful, and therefore we may continue to be subject to them without regret. In reference to such weaknesses it may be that after beseeching the Lord even thrice…

EVERY wise merchant will occasionally hold a stock-taking, when he will cast up his accounts, examine what he has on hand, and ascertain decisively whether his trade is prosperous or declining.

NOTICE, dear friends, that both these texts begin with the word, “Behold.” That word is meant to attract the readers’ attention. In some books, which are intended to be sensational, you are asked to behold, and when you look, there is nothing to see. But when…

I BELIEVE this text to be appropriate to the spiritual condition of our church. If I am not very sadly mistaken, the Lord of hosts is with us in a very remarkable manner. Our meetings for prayer have been distinguished by an earnest and fervent spirit. Our mee…

THIS event took place at Capernaum, but Peter’s residence was at Bethsaida, for we read, “Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.” How came Peter to have a house at Capernaum? Poor fishermen do not often have two houses. May not the conjecture b…

THAT question may not be without importance in matters of ordinary life. We have all to trust our fellows, more or less, and I suppose we have all had to smart in some degree, as the result of it. We may trust the mass of men in trifles without any serious con…

THE sense of this passage may be that Judea would be so desolated that it would become rather a wild wilderness pasture for flocks than an inhabited country, but that is not the meaning which the old readers of the Bible were accustomed to give to it. The Hebr…

GOD’S love to His ancient people is the theme of many a psalm, and deserves to be rehearsed in the ears of every generation. Abraham was by nature as a rough unhewn stone, but the Lord who chose him in the quarry, having hewn him from the rock, made him a poli…

THIS passage occurs in a discourse of our Savior against despising one of those little ones that believe in Him . He foretells a dreadful doom for those who, in their contempt for the little ones, cause them to stumble, and He forbids that contempt by a variet…

THERE are some households where all are saved—how happy they should be!—where every son and every daughter, father, and mother are all believers—a church in the house, a church of which the whole of the house is comprised. It is such an unspeakable blessing th…
