Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. What! a tempest where Christ is? Yes, it is generally so. If all seems very calm, thou mayest question whether Christ is there, but when he goes into the ship, and his disciples follow him, it is not remarkable that the devil...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? Glory be to his blessed...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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? The disciples might have answered, “Lord, how canst thou ask us why we are fearful? The ship is covered with waves, the sea threatens to swallow it and all of us up.” Still, they might have thought, “If...

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, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. As great a calm as there had been tempest. After great trouble, expect deep, delightful rest and peace, if you are a child of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. “A great calm.” No ordinary stillness of the sea; but it was a great calm, as the tempest had been great which had preceded it. What! and all on a sudden too? Storms sob themselves to sleep through lengthened intervals of fretfulness, but when Jesus gives the word of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! We have often marvelled in the same way, but we know that it is not any “manner of man” alone, but that he, who was truly man, who was also “very God of very God,” the God-man, the man Christ Jesus, the mediator between God and men.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? They did not know their Lord yet; nor do we. Perhaps we have to go to sea to learn more of him, I mean that troubles and trials of a greater sort than we have known before may yet have to come to be our schoolmasters to teach us what Jesus is....

And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. The owners of these animals had no business to have any swine there; swine were forbidden in that holy country, and they should not have been kept there.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. What a wonderful creature a man is, as compared with an animal! A legion of devils could be packed away into these two men, but they needed a whole herd of swine to contain them all. How much greater is a man than a beast; that is to say, how much...

And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. The proverb has it, “They run fast whom the devil...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: You feel that they are going to worship him, or at least to ask him to come, and teach them the way of salvation; nothing of the sort.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. And there are many still who try all they can to get Christ to go away from them. Woe be to them if he grants their desire!

And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city. And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. Our Lord dealt first with the greater evil, for sin is worse than even such a dreadful...

Take heed, dear...
