C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

ISOLATIONISM

Let us, however, take heed that our separateness from the world is of the same kind as our Lord’s. We are not to adopt a peculiar dress, or a singular mode of speech, or shut ourselves out from society. He did not so; but He was a man of the people, mixing with them for their good. TN130 If believer... Read More

JEALOUSY

You cannot commit a greater crime against some people than to be more useful than they are. 1834.195 When we meet a brother with ten talents, do we congratulate ourselves on having such a man given to help us, or do we depreciate him as much as we can? Such is the depravity of our nature that we do ... Read More

JESUS CHRIST

Then, if Christ’s poverty be such as I have tried to describe it, what must the riches of his people be? If our riches are proportionate to His poverty, what rich people we are! He was as poor as poor can be; and we, if we are believing in Him, are as rich as rich can be. CI118 As all the rivers run... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -BLOOD OF

My soul, admire the boundless love of God to thee and others of the human race. Worms are bought with the blood of the Son of the Highest! Dust and ashes redeemed with a price far above silver and gold! ME579 Blood, always precious, is priceless when it streams from Immanuel’s side. ME623 Behold his... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -CONDESCENSION OF

Oh, Son of Man, I know not which to admire most, thine height of glory, or thy depths of misery! 151.352 See how low he fell to lift us from our fall! 1168.218 When the Christ of God, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, was forsaken by his Father, deserted by his friends, and left alone to suffer ...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -CONFESSION OF

I would not question the safety of any man who has believed in Jesus, but I do avow that I would not run the risk that non-confessors run. 980.156 “He that confesseth me before men, him will I confess before my Father who is in heaven.” Take this sentence home with you, every one of you. What Christ... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -CRUCIFIXION OF

What was the crown of sin? Thorns. These sprang from the curse. “Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee,” was the coronation of sin, and now Christ has taken away its crown, and put it on his own head. He has spoiled sin of its richest regalia, and he wears it himself. Glorious champi... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -DEATH OF

The heart of Christ became like a reservoir in the midst of mountains. All the tributary streams of iniquity, and every drop of the sins of his people, ran down and gathered into one vast lake, deep as hell, and shoreless as eternity. 258.271 It was a death in which the second death was comprehended...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -DEITY OF

Those who deny the Godhead of Christ are consistent in rejecting the atonement. 1223.159 Depend upon it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God. 1225.177 God in the carpenter’s shop! The Son of God driving nails and handling a hammer! Wondrous w... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -EXALTATION OF

God’s Anointed is appointed, and shall not be disappointed. TD2:6 If Christ be glorious, it is all the heaven I ask for. If he shall be King of kings, and Lord of lords, let me be nothing, if he shall but reign, and every tongue shall call him blessed, it shall be bliss to me to know it; and if I ma... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -FELLOWSHIP WITH

What the sun is to the day, what the moon is to the night, what the dew is to the flower, such is Jesus Christ to us. What bread is to the hungry, clothes to the naked, the shadow of a great rock to the traveller in a weary land, such is Jesus Christ to us. What the turtle is to her mate, what the h... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -GLORY OF

Eternity shall not discover the shadow of a spot in our Beloved, but rather, as ages revolve, His hidden glories shall shine forth with yet more inconceivable splendour, and His unutterable loveliness shall more and more ravish all celestial minds. ME287... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -HUMANITY OF

Whichever of all His creatures shall come nearest to the Creator will evidently have the pre-eminence in the ranks of creatureship; which, then, shall bear the palm? Shall not the seraphs be the chosen ones? Shall not the swift-winged sons of light be chief among Heaven’s courtiers? Behold, and be a... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -IMPECCABILITY OF

It has been asserted lately, by some ill-judged one, that Christ was capable of sin. I think it was Irving who started some such idea, that if Christ was not capable of sinning, he could not have been capable of virtue. “For,” say they, “if a man must necessarily be good, there is no virtue in his g...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -INCARNATION OF

The birth of Jesus is the grandest light of history, the sun in the heavens of all time. It is the pole-star of human destiny, the hinge of chronology, the meeting-place of the waters of the past and the future. CI23 O man, God comes to you in the form of one like yourself! CI27 Our Lord Jesus Chris... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -JEALOUSY OF

The Lord Jesus Christ, of whom I now speak, is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he not choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he not buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you w... Read More

JESUS CHRIST -JUDGMENT SEAT OF

The other day there landed on the shores of France a boatful of people sodden with rain and salt-water; they had lost all their luggage, and had nothing but what they stood upright in: they were glad, indeed, to have been saved from a wreck. It was well that they landed at all; but when it is my lot... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -LORDSHIP OF

Thousands of people are quite willing to be saved by Christ, but when it comes to the very first step, namely, that Jesus must be accepted as ruler, lawgiver, master, king, and Lord, then they start back and reject eternal life. 1375.535 You must either let him reign over you, or else you will have ...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -LOVE FOR

Give us a church that loves Jesus Christ much. You will have mighty prayer- meetings; you will have a holy membership; you will have liberal giving to the cause of Christ; you will have hearty praising of his name; you will have careful walking before the world; you will have earnest endeavours for ...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

JESUS CHRIST -LOVE OF

In our Lord’s love we have the best motive for loyalty, the best reason for energy, and the best argument for perseverance. 1411.243 To be constrained by the love of Christ creates a life heroic, exalted, illustrious: no, I must come down from such lofty words—it is such a life as every Christian ou...
