THE man, to whom our Savior addressed this question, had been born blind, but he had been the subject of one of the Master’s mightiest miracles, and was rejoicing in the possession of his newly found sight. Our Lord is not accustomed to do things by halves, so…

BELOVED friends, whatever the condition of a child of God is, he is not without hope. A believer in the Lord Jesus Christ may be very sorely tried, his afflictions may be multiplied, and they may be very keen, but even in that condition, he has hope. It is not…

I HAVE heard it said, by those who would be thought philosophers that in religion we must believe, but cannot know. I am not very clear about the distinction they draw between knowledge and faith, nor do I care to inquire, because I assert that, in matters rel…

THERE is an old promise, concerning God’s people, which says, “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” This text is one of the instances in which the Lord has dealt with His saints upon the lines of that promise. Read th…

IF you read the whole verse, you will see that David used these words as an argument in prayer— “Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.” It is a…

THIS morning we were indulged with the Master’s blessing while considering one of the most delightful subjects that can ever occupy the minds of God’s creatures this side of heaven. It was a celestial song, fitter for angels’ harps than sinners’ tongues. We sa…

DEEP emotion prompts this question, but where are the depths of love and gratitude that can meet its exuberant demands? You will perhaps remember an incident in the life of a famous soldier, who also became a famous Christian, Colonel James Gardiner.

MAY the inexpressibly precious promises of our text be fulfilled to every one of you throughout the whole of your lives. What could heart desire or mind conceive beyond the heaped-up blessedness of my text? God’s presence and God’s rest—a ring of finest gold s…

I DO not intend to enter into this narrative in its bearing upon our Lord, although we have here one of the most famous types of the Only-begotten, whom the Great Father offered up for the sins of His people. Peradventure that may be the subject this evening.

WE commenced our exposition of the life of Abram with his calling, when he was brought out of Ur of the Chaldees and separated unto the Lord in Canaan. We then passed on to his justification, when he believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.…

, 12-13 THIS Psalm was written by David when he was sorely vexed by many adversaries. These adversaries were bent upon his destruction—they could not bear that the son of Jesse should be favored of God and that he should come to the throne—so they set their wi…

GOD has often foretold things to come by the lips of His prophets. I need not give you even a single specimen of the multitudes of instances in which events which could not have been guessed at, which indeed were highly improbable and unlikely, were neverthele…

YOU will observe, if you read the chapter before us, that Peter’s sermon was short and much to the point. He preached Jesus Christ to Cornelius immediately and unmistakably. He gave a very admirable sketch of the life of Jesus of which he affirmed himself to h…

IT is evident that this vision and prophecy graciously reveal the future history of Jerusalem. You may spiritualize, if you will, and say that Jerusalem signifies the church, but I pray you not to forget the literal meaning of such words as these in the twelft…

EVER since man has fallen away from God, two things have been highly desirable. The one, that he should be forgiven all his offenses, the other, equally if not more important, that he should be led to hate the sin into which he has fallen and love the purity a…

PAUL’S mode of preaching, as illustrated by this chapter, was first of all to appeal to the understanding with a clear exposition of doctrinal truth, and then to impress that truth upon the emotions of his hearers with earnest and forcible exhortations. This i…

THIS is the case when God visits a nation with terrible judgments. When the Jews were led away captive into Babylon, the great men of the land were bound in chains and treated as common slaves, and as they marched across the weary wilderness, the iron entered…

IT may seem remarkable that Paul, who was once the strictest of Pharisees, should become the most ardent champion of the doctrines of salvation by grace and justification by faith. How large a portion of the New Testament is given up to his writings, and the m…

IN many things our Lord Jesus stands alone as a worker. No other can unite His voice with the fiat which says, “Lazarus, come forth.” Yet in certain points of gracious operation the Master associates His servants with Him, so that when Lazarus has come forth H…

PAUL had given some account of what God had done by him and had described the work in these words; “You are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, b…

THERE is a great satisfaction in having such a text as this, for even if the preacher should not be able to say anything to edification, yet the text itself is rich food for the saints, and may fully satisfy their hunger. Let but a child of God really digest s…

ONE would have thought that if the glorious Lord condescended to send His servants to speak to men of the way of salvation, all mankind would delight to hear the message. We should naturally conclude that the people would immediately run together in eager crow…
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 13, 1867
THERE are two classes mentioned here, the righteous and the wicked. And into these two orders the Book of God is accustomed to divide the whole population of the globe. It speaks but little of upper and lower classes. It says but little concerning the various…
