I HAD very great joy last night—many of you know why, but some do not. We held our annual meeting of the church, and it was a very pleasant sight to see so many brothers and sisters knit together in the heartiest love, welded together as one mass by common sym…

YOU scarcely need me to say that Paul is here writing concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, indeed, Christ was his constant theme, both in preaching and writing. I have heard of ministers who can preach a sermon without mentioning the name of Jesus from beginning…

NO. 1358 A SERMON DELIVERED ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 9, 1877 BY C. H. SPURGEON AT CHRIST CHURCH, WESTMINSTER BRIDGE ROAD [On Behalf of the London Missionary Society] I HAVE taken two texts from two successive chapters of the book of Joshua. The first is from…

[See Sermons #660, Light, Natural and Spiritual and #1252, The First Day of Creation] WE cannot tell how the Spirit of God brooded over that vast watery mass. It is a mystery, but it is also a fact, and it is here revealed as having happened at the very commen…

TO whom is this exhortation addressed? The apostle speaks thus in the twelfth verse, “Elect of God, holy and beloved.” Here are three particulars. They are, first of all, “elect of God,” that is to say, chosen according to His eternal purpose. They are made ch…

WE are glad to perceive in this Song the varied experience of the bride. She was the well-beloved of the heavenly Bridegroom, but she was not without her faults. Though the “fairest among women,” she was human, and therefore, she had not reached angelical perf…

TO a casual reader, it looks as if the meaning of this passage lay upon the very surface, but he who has studied the chapter carefully has discovered that it is a sentence replete with many difficulties as to the exact interpretation of it. I shall not, howeve…

NOAH was a very different man from the rest of those who lived in his time, for the grace of God had set a division between him and them. They forgot God and Noah feared Him. They lived for things seen and temporal and he lived in sight of the invisible. When…

JESUS is the spokesman here. He tells of His own death by crucifixion, and of the result which will follow. It appears, then, that our Lord’s power to draw all men to Himself lies mainly in His death. By being lifted up from the earth upon the cross He was mad…

JOSIAH, as you remember, in the early part of his reign set his face against the idolatries that prevailed, to root them out of the land. He then bent his thoughts upon repairing and beautifying the temple. After that it was his heart’s aim to restore the sacr…

THE apostle declares that whenever God has entered into covenant with man it has not been without the shedding of blood. To a covenant a sacrifice, and to a testament a death, was evidently necessary. It was so when the arrangements of Israelite worship were f…

OUR aptness to forget God’s mercies is, alas! too conspicuous. It has been said that the annals of a prosperous and peaceful country are singularly uninteresting, does this arise from the fact that we do not make memoranda of our mercies, or at least if we do…

ASAPH was very grievously troubled in spirit. The deep waters were not only around his boat, but they had come in even unto his soul. When the spirit of a man is wounded then is he wounded indeed, and such was the case with this man of God. In the time of his…

I REMEMBER to have read somewhere, though I cannot just now recall the authority, that Bethany—to which place one would have thought the Savior would have gone to spend the night, at the house of Mary and her sister Martha, was over the brow of the Mount of Ol…

WE understand this sacred love song to be a Canticle of Communion between the Lord Jesus Christ and His church. He is the Bridegroom, and she the bride. Solomon furnishes the figure, as some think, and his Solyma is with him, but the type is dimly seen, it is…

THE child Samuel was favored above all the family in which he dwelt. The Lord did not speak by night to Eli or to any of Eli’s sons. In all that house, in all the rows of rooms that were round about the tabernacle where the ark of the Lord was kept, there was…

I AM very thankful that so many of you are glad and happy. There is none too much joy in the world, and the more that any of us can create, the better. It should be a part of our happiness, and a main part of it, to try to make other people glad. “Comfort ye,…

BELOVED, we have a High Priest . All that Israel had under the law we still retain, only we have the substance of which they had only the shadow . “We have an altar, of which they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle”; we have a sacrifice, which, be…

I DARESAY you have most of you heard of a little book which an old divine used constantly to study, and when his friends wondered what there was in the book, he told them that he hoped they would all know and understand it, but that there was not a single word…

THESE words were spoken, not to the outside world, but to the church of Laodicea. They relate to persons who were in a church state, who had been baptized on confession of their faith in Christ, and who were thought to be in a fine spiritual condition. They ha…

THE chapter from which the text is taken bristles with points. There is a remarkable parallel between Eliezer seeking a wife for Isaac and the ministers of Christ seeking souls for Jesus. It is something more than an allegory. It is really a very instructive p…

THIS is a question which might often be asked of us when we have been reading the Scriptures, when we have been attending upon the public means of grace, or when we have been partaking of the Lord’s supper—“Have ye understood all these things?” It were well fo…
