Fully, Entirely and Perfectly! The following is from Spurgeon’s book, “Christ’s Incarnation, the Foundation of Christianity” “You Shall Call His Name Jesus: For He SHALL SAVE His People From Their Sins.” Matthew 1:21 JESUS is nothing at all if He is not a SAVIOUR. He is anointed to this very end. His very Name is […]
His master-purpose! (Charles Spurgeon, “Christ’s Incarnation, the Foundation of Christianity”) Let us gather with grateful boldness around the infant in the manger, and behold our God! “Thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins!” Matthew 1:21 The great object of our Lord’s coming here was not to live, […]
The Keys of Hell and Death! Spurgeon, “Christ With the Keys of Death and Hell” “I have the keys of hell and of death.” Rev. 1:18. Hell and death, terrible powers as they are, are not left to riot without government. Jesus holds the keys of these dreadful regions! Death is a land of darkness, […]
Why do we love Him? Spurgeon, “THE CHURCH’S LOVE TO HER LOVING LORD” Because before this round earth ever was fashioned between the palms of the great Creator- before he had painted the rainbow, or hung out the lights of the sun and moon, Christ’s delights were with us. He foresaw us and he knew […]
When the creature failed, he flew to the Creator! (Charles Spurgeon) “Help, Lord! For the godly are no more.” Psalm 12:1 The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, seasonable, pithy, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of godly men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication. When the creature failed, he flew […]
Contemplating God’s greatness! (Charles Spurgeon) “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place — what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him?” Psalm 8:3-4 Lift up your eyes, behold the heavens, the […]
Who makes you different from anyone else? (Charles Spurgeon) “Who maketh thee to differ from another? What hast thou, that thou did’t not receive? And if thou dids’t receive it, why dost thou boast as if thou hads’t not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7 It is grace—free sovereign grace, which has made you to differ! […]
The grand object of the eye of faith! (Charles Spurgeon) “We fix our eyes not on what is seen—but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!” 2 Corinthians 4:18 In our Christian pilgrimage it is well for the most part to be looking forward. Forward lies […]
Tis but a taste! (Charles Spurgeon) “A pledge of our inheritance.” Ephesians 1:14 Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart—is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone. Yet the realization which we have of Christ’s preciousness is, in this life, imperfect at the […]
The Keys of Hell and Death! Spurgeon, “Christ With the Keys of Death and Hell” Rev. 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Hell and death, terrible powers as they are, are not left to riot […]
