Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. There is no rest in the difficulties of metaphysics. There is no rest in the labours of human merit. “Come unto me, and I will give you rest.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Here is the gracious invitation of the gospel in which the Saviour’s tears and smiles were blended, as in a covenant rainbow of promise. “Come:” he drives none away: he calls them to himself. His favourite word is, “Come.” Not-go to Moses; but, “Come unto me.” To Jesus...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The great sign of our Lord’s mission is his resurrection, and his preparing a gospel of salvation for the heathen. His life-story is well symbolized by that of Jonah. They cast our Lord overboard,...

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, — Mark, not when he is turned out of him by superior force, but when he has gone out of his own accord, — Mat_12:43.
