This Morning's Meditation
C. H. Spurgeon


"Ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone."-John 16:32.

"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church."-Ephesians 5:25.

WHAT a golden example Christ gives to His disciples! Few masters could venture to say, "If you would practise my teaching, imitate my life;" but as the life of Jesus is the exact transcript of perfect ( Read more... )

This Morning's Meditation
C. H. Spurgeon


"My beloved."-Song of Solomon 2:8.

THIS was a golden name which the ancient Church in her most joyous moments was wont to give to the Anointed of the Lord. When the time of the singing of birds was come, and the voice of the turtle was heard in her land, her love-note was sweeter than ( Read more... )

This Evening's Meditation
C. H. Spurgeon


"And she did eat, and was sufficed, and left."-Ruth 2:14.

C. H. Spurgeon


"Strong in faith."-Romans 4:20.

CHRISTIAN, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers, from God's throne except it be the ( Read more... )

As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you."-John 15:9.
AS the Father loves the Son, in the same manner Jesus loves His people. What is that divine method? He loved Him without beginning, and thus Jesus loves His members. "I have loved thee with an everlasting love." You can trace the beginning of human affection; you can easily find the ( Read more... )

"Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."-Galatians 3:26.

THE fatherhood of God is common to all his children. Ah! Little-faith, you have often said, "Oh that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid." List thee, Little- ( Read more... )

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though You are a king
I love You more than any other
So much ( Read more... )

"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."-Matthew 5:9.

THIS is the seventh of the beatitudes: and seven was the number of perfection among the Hebrews. It may be that the Saviour placed the peacemaker the seventh upon the list because he most nearly approaches the perfect man in Christ Jesus. He who would have ( Read more... )
