IT is said of some stupendous works of architecture that although you see them every day, you are struck with wonder and admiration every time you behold them, and that although you should live close to them, and have your eyes perpetually fixed upon them, yet…

HOW very much may simple obedience partake of the sublime! Peter went to take up the net, and let it down into the sea, and he said as naturally as possible, “At Your word I will let down the net.” But he was then and there appealing to one of the grandest pri…

WITHOUT a sentence of introduction, I invite you, beloved, to see herein, I. A BLESSED SEASON HERE ANTICIPATED!—A time when the day shall break and the shadows shall flee away. It is not every man who can count upon such a time as that, for to some there is no…

EVERY little incident in a remarkable conversion like that of the harlot Rahab is worthy of notice.

THIS text describes a soul-matter. The Psalmist is not speaking of a temporal deliverance, although even in that sense an escape from death would be a theme worthy of his sweetest song. He says, “Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers,”…

WHO can doubt that this promise belongs to the Gentile church, since it has been so richly fulfilled in her history? For many an age the light did not shine upon heathen lands. One spot alone upon all the earth received the genial beams of the Sun of Righteous…

CHRISTIANITY puts forth very lofty claims. She claims to be the true faith, and the only true one.

OBSERVE that the prophet has no sort of doubt. He insinuates no “if” or “an” or “but” or “perhaps,” but he says it straight out as a fact of which he is infallibly convinced—“My God will hear me.” What a blessed thing it is that the child of God knows and feel…

ALL through the book of Jeremiah you will observe that the prophet taught the people not only by words, but by symbols. At one time he took his mantle and hid it in the earth till it was soiled and worn, and then taught them something by wearing it. At another…

IT is absolutely certain that God will hear the prayers of His people. From beneath the altar souls cry unto Him day and night to vindicate the cause of Christ, the cause of truth and righteousness, and to cast down His adversary; these shall be answered speed…

AHITHOPHEL was a man of keen perception, and those who consulted him followed his advice with as much confidence as if he had been an oracle from heaven. He was a great master of diplomacy, versed in the arts of cunning—far-seeing, cautious, deep. He was for y…

WHAT a blessed walk was that from Jerusalem to Emmaus! Were they not highly favored men to have such a companion as the Lord Jesus, to hear Him converse upon such a subject, and to feel their hearts burning within them with so divine a flame? Brethren, these a…

[Other sermons by Mr. Spurgeon upon this passage are as follows:
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 8, 1901
WE noticed, in our reading, in what a kingly style the Lord speaks all through this chapter. He does not say “ if ” or “ but ” but He says, “ I will ” and “ you shall ,” and this teaches us that God is omnipotent even in the regions of free agency. It would be…

THE proper way for a sinner to be brought to God is, for God to speak to him, and for him to hear.

AFTER the miracle of the raising of Lazarus, a great fame went abroad concerning our Lord. He rested still at Bethany, and the people came up to the feast in great number went out—an easy walk from Jerusalem to Bethany—to see Jesus, and to see Lazarus, who had…

“THE LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.” There is an ancient difference which He has made in His eternal purpose, and this is seen in every item of the covenant of grace. “The LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself,” but it…

A VERY extraordinary chapter this sixteenth of Ezekiel! A minister could scarcely read it in public, he certainly would not like to explain its metaphors to a general audience, nor are we called upon to do so. To read it in private is another thing, and to hav…

THIS morning we had a “behold”—a behold about a new convert. “Behold, he prays!” It seemed to me most suitable to occupy the evening with another “behold”—a behold about another new convert who is just having his eyes opened to see the deity of the Lord Jesus…

THOSE who out of weakness were made strong are written among the heroes of faith, and are by no means the least of them. Believers “quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong.” Who shall tell which of the thr…

I SHALL take the passage quite by itself. I do not fully understand its connection, whether it relates to that which goes before or to that which comes afterwards, and happily, it is not necessary for us to know this, for the passage stands complete in itself…

IT seems at first sight, a strange thing that the apostles should have been asleep at such a time, yet probably, if we think of the circumstances in which they were placed, and of the extreme excitement under which they must have labored, it will not appear at…

THIS passage is a piece of holy teaching set forth under the parable of rising in the morning and preparing for the work of the day. May the Holy Spirit help me to place it before you in a clear light. It is a great mistake in a man’s life when he does not kno…

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon on verses 17-20 is #1824, The History of Sundry Fools] IT is a very profitable thing to visit a hospital. The sight of others’ sickness tends to make us grateful for our own health. And it is a great thing to be kept in a thankf…
