AFTER the Jewish people had been thoroughly cured of their idolatrous tendencies by their seventy years of captivity, they fell into another evil, they became superstitiously regardful of ceremonies but they lost the life and spirit of devotion, and neglected…

THIS was a very brave, outspoken confession of faith. Please to notice that it was made by a woman, a young woman, a poor woman, a widow woman, and a foreigner. Remembering all that, I should think there is no condition of gentleness, or of obscurity, or of po…

BEFORE Adam transgressed he lived in communion with God, but after he had broken the covenant, and grieved God’s Spirit, he could have no more familiar fellowship with God. Under the Mosaic dispensation, in which God was pleased in His grace to dwell among His…

THE vision of Ezekiel which is recorded in the previous chapter, brought to light the abominations of the house of Judah. The vision which follows in this chapter shows the terrible retribution that the Lord God brought upon the guilty nation, beginning at Jer…

WE do not find the doctrine of the Trinity in Unity set forth in Scripture in formal terms, such as those which are employed in the Athanasian Creed, but the truth is continually taken for granted, as if it were a fact well known in the church of God. If not l…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon, on verse 21, is #1855, What Is The Verdict?] THE fault of a very large number of persons is that they will not lay spiritual things to heart at all, but treat them in a very superficial manner—or if they exercise any judgment c…

OBSERVE the sweet titles with which Christ the husband addresses His church the bride. “My sister,” one near to Me by ties of nature, My next of kin, born of the same mother, partaker of the same sympathies. My spouse, nearest and dearest, united to Me by the…

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text are #1327, Christ, the Overcomer of the World, and #1994, Sweet Peace for Tried Believers] THE believer is in two places, and he lives two lives. In the text there are two places spoken of, “in me,” and “in the…

MOST of you know that singularly beautiful cluster of stars called the Pleiades—very small, but intensely bright . These are most conspicuous about the time of spring, and hence, in poetry, the vernal influences which quicken the earth and clothe it with the g…

WONDERFUL is the power of faith. In the Epistle to the Hebrews our apostle tells us of the marvelous exploits which it has worked in subduing kingdoms and obtaining promises, in quenching the violence of fire and stopping the mouths of lions, in braving perils…

THOSE words, “being interpreted,” salute my ear with much sweetness. Why should the word “Emmanuel” in the Hebrew, be interpreted at all? Was it not to show that it has reference to us Gentiles, and therefore it must needs be interpreted into one of the chief…

GOD’S work now is that of gathering. There was a time when it was scattering. Man built the tower of Babel, which was intended to be the center of unity, the armory of power, and the seat of dominion, from where some mighty Nimrod might sway his scepter over t…

THE custom of delivering a prisoner upon the day of the passover was intended no doubt as an act of grace on the part of the Roman authorities towards the Jews, and by the Jews it may have been accepted as a significant compliment to their passover. Since on t…

THE people of Israel had been so hunted about that they forgot the place where once they rested.

IT is the preacher’s business to endeavor to make plain to the people the meaning of the word FAITH. Inasmuch as salvation comes by believing, it is most important that men should know what believing is—and though we have to preach upon many topics and take th…

THE heathen had, somehow or other, spelled out the truth that the soul of man is immortal. Almost all their religions implied this and some of their sages plainly taught it. But never had they imagined that this immortality might belong also to the body.

IN an autobiography of William Jay we read that on one occasion he called to see the famous Mr.

THUS closed a forcible speech by Eliphaz the Temanite; it may be called his “summing up.” He virtually says, “What I have testified in the name of my friends is no dream of theirs. Upon this matter we are specialists and bear witness to truth which we have mad…

FEW men love service. Man prefers to be his own master, to do as he pleases, according to “his own sweet will” and like the winds, to be under no control whatever. But he who spurns the counsel of God, despises His law and tramples on His commands, commits an…

THESE words occur in a passage wherein the wise man exhorts us to take care of all parts of our nature, which he indicates by members of the body. “Keep your heart,” says he, “with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from you a forwar…

THE first saints could never be long without speaking of their Lord and Savior. He filled their hearts, and therefore, they must necessarily speak of Him. How ingeniously they bring Him in! When they commence an epistle, the salutation will be sure to bear His…

How exquisitely pleasant is communion with our Lord Jesus Christ! and how supremely favored are those who enjoy it! Holy Scripture exhausts every earthly figure to delineate its sacred charms, its ineffable delights. Yea, inspiration itself exhausts its metaph…

WHEREVER Jesus comes, there is a commotion. No sooner does He set His foot on the shore at Gadara than He is at once assailed by the powers of darkness, and it is not long before the whole population of the district is affected by His presence. However uninflu…

THERE were two great trials which the children of Israel had to endure in passing onward to the promised rest—their wants and their enemies. But I must add a third, which sprang out of these two by reason of the unbelief of their hearts. That third evil, far w…
