THE Gospel is as holy as the law. The Gospel is full of mercy to sinners, but it shows no mercy to sin. The Gospel speaks most tenderly to the ungodly, but it speaks most sternly to ungodliness. There is a great difference made in the New Testament, between th…

THIS morning, dear friends, I spoke upon the first recorded words of our Lord Jesus [Sermon #1666, The First Recorded Words of Jesus] when He said to His mother and to Joseph, “How is it that ye sought me?

THIS is the first Gospel sermon that was ever delivered upon the surface of this earth. It was a memorable discourse indeed, with JEHOVAH Himself for the preacher, and the whole human race and the prince of darkness for the audience. It must be worthy of our h…

THESE words are found embedded in that gracious verse, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” They are a gem in a golden setting. True prayer is an approach of the soul by the…

AS we read the chapter we noticed the rapidity with which the cures wrought by the Savior followed each other, how much of mercy was compressed into a short space of time. He has no sooner healed the paralytic than, straightway, we find Him curing the woman wh…

IS it necessary to say that the Lord Jesus Christ is no longer corporeally present in His church? It ought not to be needful to assert so evident a truth, and yet it is important to do so, since there are some who teach that in what they are pleased to call “T…

WHEN we seek any good thing from God, we ought also to consider how we may use it for His glory. It is meet that desires for good things should flow from good motives. When the heart is not only gracious but grateful, it will turn to God with double purpose, d…

I FELT, today, after a very weary, and in some respects, a very sorrowful week, as if I could not preach tonight, or that if I did stand up to speak, it must be upon some very easy and simple theme, and at the same time, it must be some great subject which wou…

DANIEL was of royal race, and what is far better, he was of royal character. He is depicted on the pages of Scriptural history as one of the greatest and most faultless of men. How grand and impressive his first appearance as a young man, when he was introduce…

THESE six verses iterate and reiterate the same fact; they rehearse and repeat the same reflection. Is the tautology tedious; do the chimes weary you with their monotony? No; but this is a veritable charm in poetry. When the poet touches upon some important th…

I SHALL not enter into the immediate meaning of Ezekiel’s vision. I believe that the house of which Ezekiel speaks is typical of the church of the living God. In it I see not so much the visible church as that spiritual, mystical church of Jesus Christ which i…

HAD man remained perfect, his communion with God would have been as unrestricted as that of an obedient child with an affectionate father. Adam might have worshiped his God acceptably anywhere, at any time, and in any mode he chose.

JESUS is well called “our Lord,” let us at the commencement adore Him. Let us each one cry to Him, “My Lord, and my God.” It is a long, long time since our Lord went up to heaven, and He said that He would come again. Evidently, some of those who best understo…

THIS was the lamentation of Jeremiah. As he saw the desolation of the beloved city, as he marked the cruelties inflicted by the invaders upon the Jewish youth, children and maidens, and as he foresaw the long years of bitterness reserved for the captives in Ba…

[Two other Sermons by Mr. Spurgeon on the same verse are #205, A Lecture for Little-Faith and #1857, The Necessity of Growing Faith] BEWARE of imagining that you have reached finality in religion. Just as some politicians have said, “We have gone as far in ref…

I THINK you must have noticed, while I was reading the psalm from which my text is taken, that I expounded it partly concerning David, and partly concerning David’s Lord, Jesus the Messiah. It often happens, in the psalms, that you can scarcely tell whether it…

HAVE you noticed the verse which comes before the text? It runs thus, “If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O LORD, who shall stand?” That is a confession. Now, confession must always come before absolution. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and jus…

WE are not a cowering multitude gathered in trembling fear around the smoking mount of Horeb— we have come where the great central figure is the mercy of God in Christ Jesus. We have gathered virtually in the outer circle of which the saints above and holy ang…

YOU will most cheerfully bear me witness that my most frequent subjects are the mercy and abundant lovingkindness of our God in Jesus Christ. And that it is my favorite employment to invite the very chief of sinners to come to Jesus Christ, with the assurance…

YOU will remember that last Lord’s-day morning we spoke upon the calling of Abram, and the faith by which he was enabled to enter upon that separated life at the bidding of the Most High. We shall today pass from the consideration of his calling to that of his…

ALL the world depends upon the labor of the field, and the king himself is served of the plough and of the sickle. The dwellers in the country who watch the up-springing blade through all its perils, who mark the ear as it bursts from its sheath, and who anxio…

I SUPPOSE that when a pearl-fisher is at the bottom of the sea, and has gathered his bag full of pearl oysters, he will sometimes see others lying about, which he would be very, very glad to take up if he could, and I can imagine that when he has been safely t…

I SHALL not attempt to do more than simply bring out the truth, and leave it with you. Fine words and gaudy sentences, with such a text as this, would be a vain attempt to “paint the lily and gild refined gold.” Let this bell ring, and there is a depth of silv…
