Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the self same hour. Jesus will treat all alike according to this rule: “As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.” If thou canst believe great things of him, thou shalt receive great things from him. If thou dost...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. Peter had a wife, you see. Romanists say that he was the first pope, therefore the first pope had a wife; and, mark you, if other popes had had wives, there would...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever, And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered unto them. That was, perhaps, the most remarkable thing of all; for, when a fever is cured, it usually leaves great weakness behind it. Persons recovered of fever cannot...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: Was not that centurion a kind of prophet He had not long spoken about Christ’s command over this man and that before Christ had an opportunity of putting his words to the test. Jesus cast out...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits, with his word, and healed all that were sick: It was the evening after the Sabbath. They did not venture even to bring out their sick till the day of rest was ended; and the Saviour, saying nothing about their lingering superstition,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. That is a singular quotation, and it teaches us that Christ has power to heal because he “himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” Am I not to understand, from the connection here, that Jesus Christ’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. It does not look like a fulfillment, except upon the wondrous principle of the power of substitution. Jesus takes the sickness, and therefore he removes it from us. He heals our infirmities because he took them upon...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. This again looks like a non sequitur. You and I would have said, “If there are great multitudes about us, let us speak to them while we are here.” But then, again, you see, we may not always judge by the apparent usefulness of the present moment, we...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. How bold he is with his boasting! But Jesus knows that the fastest professors are often just as fast deserters, so he tests him before he takes him into the band of his followers.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath nowhere to lay his head. We hear no more of this man. Our Saviour’s faithfulness probably dismissed him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Christ means, — “Can you follow the Son of man when there is no reward except himself, — not even a place for your head to rest upon, or a home wherein you may find comfort? Can you cleave to him when the lone...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. It must be Christ first, and father afterwards. We pay no disrespect to our dearest relatives and friends when we put them after Christ, that is their proper place. To put them before...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Now this man was a disciple, mark you, and, according to Luke, the Lord had said to him, “Follow me,” yet he urged this plea, “Suffer me first to go and bury my father.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Nothing, not even the duties of filial love, must be allowed to come in conflict with the command of Christ, “Follow me.” I take it that this is not so much a word to the common disciple as to a disciple called out to a special ministry: “Your ministry is to be your first, your...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. He went first, and they followed afterwards. If the ship be the type of the Church, then Christ is the first on board, he is the Captain, and the disciples make up the crew: “His disciples followed him.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. In the quiet confidence of faith, resting upon his God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. Weary with his toil, he lay down to rest. There was his humanity serenely confident, and therefore sleeping through the storm; there was the glory of his innocence: “he was asleep;” and there was also the majesty of his deity, only waiting for the moment when he should arise and...
