Morning and Evening with Charles Spurgeon

“At that time Jesus answered.” — Matthew 11:25 This is a singular way in which to commence a verse — ”At that time Jesus answered.” If you will look at the context you will not perceive that any person had asked Him a question, or that He was in conversation with any human being. Yet […]

“The Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” — 1 John 4:14 It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without His Father’s permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the Father, that He might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to […]

“Your refuge from the avenger of blood.” — Joshua 20:3 It is said that in the land of Canaan, cities of refuge were so arranged, that any man might reach one of them within half a day at the utmost. Even so the word of our salvation is near to us; Jesus is a present […]

“The love of the Lord.” — Hosea 3:1 Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how He hath fed and clothed thee every day — how He hath borne with thine ill manners — how He hath put […]

“Tell me… where Thou feedest, where Thou makest Thy flock to rest at noon.” — Song of Solomon 1:7 These words express the desire of the believer after Christ, and his longing for present communion with Him. Where doest Thou feed Thy flock? In Thy house? I will go, if I may find Thee there. […]

“Without the shedding of blood is no remission.” — Hebrews 9:22 This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding.

“And these are ancient things.” — 1 Chronicles 4:22 Yet not so ancient as those precious things which are the delight of our souls. Let us for a moment recount them, telling them over as misers count their gold. The sovereign choice of the Father, by which He elected us unto eternal life, or ever […]

“Thy love to me was wonderful.” — 2 Samuel 1:26 Come, dear readers, let each one of us speak for himself of the wonderful love, not of Jonathan, but of Jesus. We will not relate what we have been told, but the things which we have tasted and handled-of the love of Christ. Thy love […]

“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors.” — Romans 8:12 As God’s creatures, we are all debtors to Him: to obey Him with all our body, and soul, and strength. Having broken His commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to His justice, and we owe to Him a vast amount which we are not able […]

“Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.” — 2 Samuel 18:23 Running is not everything, there is much in the way which we select: a swift foot over hill and down dale will not keep pace with a slower traveller upon level ground. How is it with my spiritual journey, […]
