The Gentleness of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 14, 1873

EVERY single fragment of Scripture is precious. Short texts culled here and there, as subjects of meditation, are useful. At the same time, the practice of discoursing upon disconnected extracts may be carried too far, and sometimes the meaning of a passage ma…

If So—What Then?

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 4, 1907

SOME people suppose that it is a very easy thing to be saved, but our Lord said, “Strive (“Agonize” is the original word) to enter in at the strait gate, for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.” When men hear a simple Gospel serm…

Sychar’s Sinner Saved

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 9, 1892

I COULD not help saying in the reading, that the woman’s answer to our Lord was at least somewhat brusque, if not really rude, but with great meekness, Jesus took no notice of it so as to blame her for her tone, or for her unkind manner. He was too intent upon…

Sins of Omission

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 25, 1868

JEREMIAH was commissioned of God to bring a solemn accusation against rebellious Israel, and he commences by solemnly mentioning their sins of omission. Observe that neglect of the divine command is the charge brought in the text. In the next verses, the proph…

“Lama Sabachthani?”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 2, 1890

“THERE was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour”; this cry came out of that darkness!

And the Peace of God

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 3, 1890

PEACE is a condition of things greatly to be desired. To dread no outward disturbance and to feel no inward storm; who does not desire such a state? Peace has been called a pearl and rightly, for it is precious and smiles with soft, mild radiance bedecking the…

Honest Dealing with God

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 20, 1875

“GOD is light, and in him is no darkness at all,” and consequently He cannot have fellowship with darkness. God is light, that is purity, and as the thrice Holy One, He can hold no communion with iniquity. God is light, that is knowledge, for all things are kn…

Thrice Happy Day!

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 2, 1908

I THINK as soon as ever I read that promise, your heart would leap towards it, and you would spontaneously say, “Lord, be this the day—the first day of the year, and that day the Lord’s day—make this the day from which You will begin to bless me in a very spec…

A Mingled Strain

Charles Spurgeon

IN what state of heart should we come to the Communion Table? It is no light matter; in whatmanner shall we come before the Lord in so sacred an ordinance? By the very nature of the sacred supper we are taught that there should be a mixture of emotions. The bi…

Jesus Sitting on the Well

Charles Spurgeon • May 15, 1898

IF we were wise, dear friends, we should find a thousand things in the world to remind us of our blessed Lord. It is well to form the habit of connecting things that are seen with Him “whom, having not seen, we love.” If we do so, there will not be an hour in…

Before Daybreak with Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 14, 1884

A WONDERFUL day was closed and crowned by a wonderful evening. Capernaum had been exalted to heaven that day, for deeds worthy of heaven had been worked in her. Within the synagogue the power and authority of the new Teacher had been seen, but at the close of…

A Psalm for the New Year

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 5, 1862

BEHOLD, beloved, our perpetual dangers. Whither can we go to escape from peril? Where shall we fly to avoid temptation? If we venture into business, worldliness is there. If we retire to our homes, trials are there. One would have imagined that in the green pa…

Meeting of Our Own Church

Charles Spurgeon

NO. 380 MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1861 AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON A MEETING, in which it was designed to set forth the independency, harmony, and family character of each church, was held on Monday evening, April 8 th . The Rev. John Spurgeon presided. T…

A Procession of Cross-Bearers

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 27, 1905

YOUR mind’s eye can see that procession yonder. Notice it carefully. At the head of it there walks One whom we rightly call Master and Lord. You may know Him by the prints of the nails in His hands and feet. I observe that He carries a cross and that it is a v…

The Way Everlasting

Charles Spurgeon

WE must all of us have a “way,” we must be journeying, for this is not our resting place. We cannot abide in any one stay. “Forward” is the word of command. As the round earth never pauses, but perpetually revolves, as the stars never halt in their course, but…

“The True Sayings of God”

Charles Spurgeon • May 13, 1909

BEFORE I use our text in a larger sense, it is due to our reverence for the Word of God to expound this short sentence in its immediate connection, for the angel here declared that certain things which had been spoken in John’s hearing were “the true sayings o…

Christ Glorified

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 10, 1914

GOD has glorified His Son. How deeply we ought to regret that we glorify Christ so little, bought with His precious blood, owing all we have to Him. We make but a very poor return, and even when we are helped by the Spirit of God to glorify Christ, yet I am su…

Dei Gratia

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 30, 1870

NO truth is more plainly taught in God’s Word than this, that the salvation of sinners is entirely owing to the grace of God. If there be anything clear at all in Scripture, it is plainly there declared that men are lost by their own works, but saved through t…

“I Will,” Yet, “Not as I Will”

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 2, 1894

WE have here two prayers uttered by the same Person, yet there is the greatest possible contrast between them. How different men are at different times! Yet Jesus was always essentially the same, “the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” Still, His mood a…

A Feast for the Upright

Charles Spurgeon • May 14, 1882

IN this sweet Sabbatic Psalm the writer rejoices in the house of God. He evidently loves the place of godly assembly, the place where prayer and praise were offered by the united tribes of his people. But, brethren, there was no superstition in this love. He l…

New Uses for Old Trophies

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 20, 1870

WHEN David had fought with an adversary and overcome him, he took away his armor and his weapons, and as other victorious heroes were wont to do, he bore them home as mementoes of his prowess, the trophies of the battle. These were placed in the house of the L…

How Faith Comes

Charles Spurgeon • May 21, 1899

WHEREVER faith exists, it is the gift of God. It is a plant that never sprang up spontaneously from the soil of corrupt human nature. Whether it be little faith or great faith, it is equally of divine origin, and wherever it is found—whether in the child of pi…

No Compromise

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 7, 1888

GENESIS is both the book of beginnings and the book of dispensations. You know what use Paul makes of Sarah and Hagar, of Esau and Jacob, and the like. Genesis is, all through, a book instructing the reader in the dispensations of God towards man. Paul says, i…

The Angelic Life

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 22, 1868

WE must all of us develop one way or the other. Manhood, as we see it here, is but the green blade, or at the best, the corn in the ear, the full corn in the ear will only be seen in the world to come. We must either descend or ascend. None of us can remain in…
