Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: — They are of this flock, but they are not of this fold. The flock is divided, and lies down in different fields for the present: “Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. Christ’s death was to be the act of his own free will, as well as of the violence of wicked men.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. The voluntariness of Christ’s sacrifice is its glory, and well may his Father love him...

; Joh_10:26. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. And many...

I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad, why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. Then came the Jesus round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. This great truth angered the Jews so...

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. Happy are they, then, who have received...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town or Mary and her sister Martha. In God’s book, towns are most remarkable for saints that dwell in them. “The town of Mary and her sister Martha.” A day will come when a city shall be more illustrious for a saint than for a Caesar — be more renowned for deeds of faith than for deeds of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. To many people, it may have seemed an event of no particular importance that “a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany,” but great consequences often depend upon what appear to us to be very minor matters, and we must not despise the least of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick). Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. They did not say anymore. They felt that it was quite enough to tell him that Lazarus was sick, and they left it to the tender heart of...

(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. So you see that those whom Jesus loves may be themselves ill, or may have dear ones who are ill; ay, and the illness may be sent by God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Our Saviour sneaks in a different style from us. He should have said that the sickness was unto death, but, ultimately, to the glory of God. But he who sees the end from the beginning streaks with a grandeur of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death,- That was not to be the end of it; God had quite another purpose in view in allowing Lazarus to be sick: “This sickness is not unto death,”- Joh_11:4. But for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Jesus knew that Lazarus would die, but he also knew that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Yet Lazarus died. Jesus loved Lazarus, yet Lazarus was sick. Jesus was not of that cruel sort of people, of whom we have some in these days, who call themselves saints, and who attribute all sickness among God’s people to their sin or to their want of faith. Not he. Here was one that was sick,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Happy was the family at Bethany of which it could be said that all the members of it were dear to Christ. Is it so with your household, Martha? Or is it only Mary who is thus loved? Has Lazarus been left out? Then pray for your brother as these gracious sisters sent to tell Jesus about Lazarus.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Notice the connection. “Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus”; and yet when he had heard that Lazarus was sick, “he abode two days still in the same place where he was.” Sometimes true love may think fit to make us wait. It may be the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. We cannot always understand what our Master does. It seemed a strange thing that, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stopped where he was, yet there was a good reason for the delay, Christ was waiting in wisdom and in love. I think I see...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. — and that because he loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. If that love in its wisdom made him tarry, yet that love in its sincerity at last moved him to seek the house of grief.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the...
