Charles Spurgeon was a popular Baptist minister in London in mid-Victorian times; his ministry was highly influential and had a significant effect on many families in London and further afield. It was difficult to find a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd who wished to hear him. At times the Royal Surrey Gardens’ Music Hall was hired to accomodate the Sunday congregation; this could seat 10,000 but large numbers were unable to gain admittance. His world-wide heritage is very much wit ...

HE WHO SPOKE and wrote this message will be greatly disappointed if it does not lead many to the Lord Jesus. It is sent forth in childlike dependence upon the power of God the Holy Ghost, to use it in the conversion of millions, if so He pleases. No doubt many poor men and women will take up this little volume, and the Lord will visit them with grace. To answer this end, the very plainest language has been chosen, and many homely expressions have been used. But if those of wealth and rank sh ...

Conduziu-os pelo caminho direito. Salmos 107.7 Com frequência, as mudanças fazem com que o crente ansioso pergunte: "Por que as coisas acontecem assim comigo? Procurei luz, e me sobrevieram trevas. Buscava paz, experimento aflições. Disse ao meu coração: 'Estou firme. Nunca serei abalado'. Senhor, escondes tua face e estou atribulado. Ontem, eu tin…

“There is corn in Egypt.” — Genesis 42:2 Famine pinched all the nations, and it seemed inevitable that Jacob and his family should suffer great want; but the God of providence, who never forgets the objects of electing love, had stored a granary for His people by giving the Egyptians warning of the scarcity, and leading them to treasure up the grai…

“If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” — 1 Peter 2:3 If: — then, this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning everyone of the human race. “If:” — then there is a possibility and a probabilitythat some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. “If:” — then thisis not a general but a special mercy; and it is needful to e…

Se é que já tendes a experiência de que o Senhor é bondoso. 1Pedro 2.3 "Se" - não se trata de um assunto que se possa ter por certo no que se refere a cada um da raça humana. "Se" - esta palavra nos diz que existe a possibilidade de alguns ainda não haverem provado que o Senhor é bondoso. "Se" - não se trata de misericórdia geral, mas especial; e é…

“I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love.” — Hosea 11:4 Our heavenly Father often draws us with the cords of love; but ah! how backward we are to run towards Him! How slowly do we respond to His gentle impulses! He draws us to exercise a more simple faith in Him; but we have not yet attained to Abraham’s confidence; we do not leave our …

“Marvellous lovingkindness.” — Psalm 17:7 When we give our hearts with our alms, we give well, but we must often plead to a failure in this respect. Not so our Master and our Lord. His favours are always performed with the love of His heart. He does not send to us the cold meat and the broken pieces from the table of His luxury, but He dips our mor…

As maravilhas da tua bondade. Salmos 17.7 Quando fazemos o bem com o coração, nós o realizamos de fato. Mas, geralmente falhamos em dar com o coração. O nosso Senhor e Mestre não age assim. Os favores dele sempre são realizados com o amor do seu coração. O Senhor Jesus não nos envia a carne fria ou as migalhas da mesa de sua magnificência. Em vez d…

“And he requested for himself that he might die.” — 1 Kings 19:4 It was a remarkable thing that the man who was never to die, for whom God had ordained an infinitely better lot, the man who should be carried to heaven in a chariot of fire, and be translated, that he should not see death — should thus pray, “Let me die, I am no better than my father…

“I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” — Ecclesiastes 10:7 Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the truly great pine in obscurity. This is a riddle in providence whose solution will one day gladden the hearts of the upright; but it is so common a fact, that none of us should murmur if it s…

Vi servos a cavalo e príncipes andando a pé como servos sobre a terra. Eclesiastes 10.7 Pessoas arrogantes frequentemente usurpam os lugares mais elevados, enquanto os verdadeiramente grandes definham na obscuridade. Este é um enigma na Providência cuja solução um dia deixará alegre o coração dos justos. Entretanto, não devemos murmurar, se este en…

“Afterward.” — Hebrews 12:11 How happy are tried Christians, afterwards. No calm more deep than that which succeeds a storm. Who has not rejoiced in clear shinings after rain? Victorious banquets are for well-exercised soldiers. After killing the lion we eat the honey; after climbing the Hill Difficulty, we sit down in the arbour to rest; after tra…

“In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.” — Colossians 2:9, 10 All the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal. All the fulness of the Godhead, whatever that marvellous term may comprehend, is ours to make us complete. He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity; but He has done all t…

“Thou art My servant; I have chosen thee.” — Isaiah 41:9 If we have received the grace of God in our hearts, its practical effect has been to make us God’s servants. We may be unfaithful servants, we certainly are unprofitable ones, but yet, blessed be His name, we are His servants, wearing His livery, feeding at His table, and obeying His commands…

“So to walk even as He walked.” — 1 John 2:6 Why should Christians imitate Christ? They should do it for their own sakes. If they desire to be in a healthy state of soul — if they would escape the sickness of sin, and enjoy the vigour of growing grace, let Jesus be their model. For their own happiness’ sake, if they would drink wine on the lees, we…

Esse deve também andar assim como ele andou. 1João 2.6 Por que os crentes devem imitar a Cristo? Eles devem fazê-lo por causa de sua própria alma. Se os crentes desejam gozar de boa saúde espiritual; se desejam escapar da enfermidade do pecado e desfrutar do vigor da graça crescente, Jesus deve ser o modelo deles. Para sua própria felicidade, se de…

For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your cattle, and your beasts.” — 2 Kings 3:16,17 The armies of the three kings were famishing for want of water: God was about to s…

“Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” — 1 Timothy 6:17 Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand. As long as there is a vessel of grace not yet full to the brim, the oil shall not be stayed. He is a sun ever-shining; He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending …

Que tudo nos proporciona ricamente para nosso aprazimento. 1Timóteo 6.17 O Senhor Jesus está sempre concedendo bênçãos e nem por um momento Ele retrai sua mão.

“Made perfect.” — Hebrews 12:23 Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which the Christian needs — the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification wrought in him by the Holy Spirit. At present, corruption yet remains even in the breasts of the regenerate — experience soon teaches us this. Withi…

“All that believe are justified.” — Acts 13:39 The believer in Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by, but now. So far as justification is the result of faith, it is given to the soul in the moment when it closes with Christ, and accepts Him as its all in all. Are they who stand before the throne of God…

Todo o que crê é justificado. - Atos 13.39 O crente no Senhor Jesus desfruta de uma justificação presente. A fé não produz este fruto mais tarde, e sim agora. Visto que a justificação é o resultado da fé, a justificação é dada ao crente no momento em que este recebe a Jesus. Aqueles que se achegam ao trono de Deus são justificados agora? Sim, nós o…

“He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom.” — Isaiah 40:11 Who is He of whom such gracious words are spoken? He is THE GOODSHEPHERD. Why doth He carry the lambs in His bosom? Because Hehath a tender heart, and any weakness at once melts His heart. The sighs,the ignorance, the feebleness of the little ones of His flock dra…

“Joint heirs with Christ.” — Romans 8:17 The boundless realms of His Father’s universe are Christ’s by prescriptive right. As “heir of all things,” He is the sole proprietor of the vast creation of God, and He has admitted us to claim the whole as ours, by virtue of that deed of joint-heir-ship which the Lord hath ratified with His chosen people.

Co-herdeiros com Cristo. - Romanos 8.17 Os infinitos domínios do universo do Pai são, por direito prescribente, de Cristo. Como "herdeiro de todas as coisas" (Hebreus 1.2), o Senhor Jesus é o único proprietário de toda a criação de Deus. Ele nos permitiu afirmar que todo o mundo nos pertence por causa do título de co-herdeiros que o Senhor Jesus ra…

“And will manifest myself to him.” — John 14:21 The Lord Jesus gives special revelations of Himself to His people. Even if Scripture did not declare this, there are many of the children of God who could testify the truth of it from their own experience.
