It is by no means deliberate that the last few sermons have not had the 'classic' Spurgeon three point structure, but I hope that it at least undermines the weary assertion that this preacher 'invariably' has three points. This sermon has an interesting balance, because it has two main divisions but is still divided into thirds. The sermon finds us on the Emmaus road, with two disciples who are thinking foolishly, "slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." Spurgeon is blunt and forceful in dealing with this matter. Speaking first to the true believer, he asserts, first, that unbelief is folly, and, second, that unbelief arises from slowness of heart. The preacher simply explores those two assertions arising from the text, analysing and anatomising our dull hearts. He closes that portion of the sermon with an encouragement—that slowness of heart is not the same as hardness of heart, and that those who weary of their doubts should abandon them for the faith that not only saves but also secures. Then, with that element of the sermon concluded, Spurgeon asks his believing congregation to pray as he speaks directly to the unconverted. The last third of the sermon is a sustained plea to those who do not yet believe, seeking to expose and to correct the folly and dullness that grips such hearts, concluding with warnings and pleadings. The sermon is striking in its directness and in the arrangement which serves as a vehicle for that direct address, looking first the doubting believer and then the unbeliever in the eye with affection and concern, and speaking to the soul.

This is good. Spugeon takes the simple but powerful statement of Paul, "God justifies the ungodly" and drives it home with such accurate force as to make any believer hear and rejoice.

"All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies." So writes the man of God in Psalm 25:10, and so preaches the servant of God in this sermon. In another simply structured sermon—remember, Spurgeon deliberately seeks to avoid complexity—he first paints the portrait of the covenanter, the man who keeps the covenant and testimonies of the Lord. As you might imagine, the preacher takes the opportunity to portray a truly Christian man, one thoroughly persuaded of his own sin and misery, but equally delighted with the provision God has made in Christ Jesus for sinners, and so committed to the Saviour and to the way of the righteous. But the man is no static saint: he walks that road, and find it to be paved with mercy and truth, not so much on his account, but on the Lord's. Spurgeon emphasises that this is the way by which the Lord draws near to the covenanting man, and these are the blessings which he showers upon him. Thus the experience described is less that of the covenanter seeking the Lord, and more the Lord favouring the covenanter. So the preacher both encourages the saint to keep God's covenant and testimonies, and challenges the sinner as to the misery and emptiness of life without God.

The sermon, rooted in Hebrews 7:25, proclaims the boundless sufficiency of Christ to save all who come to God through Him, emphasizing that salvation is uniquely revealed in Scripture and not found in creation or human effort. It calls for a genuine, wholehearted surrender to God—rejecting mere religious formalism, self-righteousness, or half-hearted devotion—and insists that true coming to God must be through Jesus Christ alone, as the exclusive mediator. The central message affirms that Christ's saving power extends to the uttermost, encompassing even the most grievous sinners, those hardened by repeated rejection, and those in despair, because He ever lives to intercede for His people. The sermon concludes with a solemn warning against the unpardonable sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit and a heartfelt appeal for repentance and faith, underscoring God's infinite mercy and the believer's assurance of eternal security through Christ's perpetual intercession.
