Never Separated from God “And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believeth thou this?” (John 11:26). Yes, LORD, we believe it; we shall never die. Our soul may be separated from our body, and this is death of a kind; but our soul shall never be separated from God, which is the […]
NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS by Spurgeon– Lo, he bears the transgressor’s scourging! He is tied to the whipping-post, his back is marred and scarred; the ploughers make deep furrows, and the blood flows in streams. He is numbered with transgressors, for he bears the felon’s cross; he comes into the street bowed down with the […]
I would rather believe a limited atonement that is efficacious for all men for whom it was intended, than a universal atonement that is not efficacious for anybody, except the will of men be added to it. –C.H. Spurgeon
“Jesus said unto them—If you seek Me, let these go their way.” — John 18:8 Mark, my soul, the care which Jesus manifested even in His hour of trial, towards the sheep of His hand! His love for His people is as strong in death. He resigns Himself to the enemy—but He interposes a word […]
He is full—infinitely full! “The only begotten of the Father—full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 Ah! He is full of grace. Had He not been—I would never have been saved. He drew me when I struggled to escape from His grace; and when at last I came all trembling like a condemned culprit to […]

Oh! the glory! From Spurgeon’s sermon, “The Best Beloved” Do you say that Christ is altogether lovely? It is not enough. It is not a thousandth part enough! No tongue of man, no tongue of angel, can ever set forth his unutterable beauties! But the day shall presently dawn and usher in the everlasting age […]
(Charles Spurgeon, “The Blood of the Everlasting Covenant!” 1859) “The blood of the everlasting covenant!” Hebrews 13:20 Long before the day-star knew its place, long before God had spoken existence out of nothing, long before angel’s wing had stirred the unnavigated ether, long before a solitary song had disturbed the solemnity of the silence in […]
Happy, happy, happy day! by Spurgeon “Your eyes shall see him.” I have heard of him, and though I have not seen his face, unceasingly I have adored him. But I shall SEE him! Yes, we shall actually gaze upon the exalted Redeemer! Realize the thought! Is there not a ‘young heaven’ within it? You […]
He comes! -Spurgeon, “The Beatific Vision” With clouds of angels, cherubim, seraphim, and all the armies of heaven, He comes!
