Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. It is no easy matter to go and rouse up the seller of oil when the midnight hour has struck. O you who are putting off repentance to a dying bed, you are foolish virgins indeed! Your folly has reached the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage; and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other margins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. “Open the door at least to us, for we came to meet thee, and we carried lamps, and we were with the other virgins: ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’” You know, perhaps, those striking lines which describe...

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; — While they were going.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. Too late, so that they could not enter.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. When that door is once shut, it will never again be opened; all Scripture goes to prove that. There are some who foolishly dream about an opening of that door, after death, for men who have died impenitent; but there is nothing in Scripture to warrant us in having any such...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. “I never knew you,” says Christ in another place; and this knowledge of his is always bound up with affection. He loves no heart that he knows not in this sense. Those whom he knows, he loves. Will he ever say to me or to you, dear friend, “I know you not”? God grant that he never...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. That is, we do not know when it will be. Some have foolishly said, “We do not know the day, or the hour, of Christ’s coming, but we may find out the year.” We shall not do anything of the kind; the time is hidden altogether, it is not revealed to us, and it...

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. This parable has to do with you who are professors of Christianity. He “called his own servants,” those who, by their own consent, were numbered amongst his household servitors: “He called his own servants, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. He is gone; our Lord has risen; and we, his servants, are left behind to trade with his goods for his glory.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had receded one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. We are grieved to know that there are persons with five talents, and others with two...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. Always remember the reclining. We have heard of one, who went into a house of entertainment, and fed most luxuriously; but, when the landlord brought him the bill, he said, “Oh, I never thought of that!” And there are many who spend their whole lives without ever...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. That is a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: and I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. “I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth.” See, friends, how...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. His lord took him on his own ground, and condemned him out of his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: He that has faith shall have more faith. He that has a secret taste for heavenly things shall have a greater love for them. He that has some understanding of the truth of God shall get more...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. If you want an instance of taking away from a man what he has not got, you may have seen it sometimes in the case of a person without any education or knowledge, who is quite content to remain in that condition. Rut, on a sudden, he is introduced into learned society; he hears...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. If we give any description of the world to come which is at all terrible, those who reject the Scriptures begin to cry out that we have borrowed it from Dante, or taken it from Milton; but I take leave to say that the most awful and harrowing...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
6, 7. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. This is not the woman who anointed Christ’s feet with ointment, but another of the holy women who ministered to him. I believe this was Mary, the sister...
