Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, The best last is ever God’s rule. “Thou hast kept the best wine until now.” Prophets are a very blessed means of communication, but how much more sure, how much more condescending is it for God to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Whom he hath appointed heir of all thing, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; You see, dear friends, how glorious was his original —...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? They are servants, but they are not sons, they are created, but they are...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. So you...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. As man Christ claims all men as his fellows, but as God he counts it no robbery to be thought equal to God. As man he is most truly man, and only superior to man by reason of the purity of his birth and the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: they shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. Jesus Christ the same...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But to which of the angels, said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? This exposition consisted of readings from Joh_10:1-30 and Heb_1:1-14.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. We have heard them; do not let us forget them. Let them not be like the driftwood which goes floating down the stream. Let us make a desperate effort to retain them in our memories; and, above all, to ponder them in our...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. It is well to give heed to what you are now hearing, but it is also important to give heed to what you have heard. Oh, how much have we heard, but have forgotten! How much have we heard, which we still remember, but do not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; — They could not trifle with the angels’ message without receiving just punishment from God. Much less, then, can we trifle with Christ’s gospel. We have not an angelic...

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; — Hark: “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?” Not if we resist it, reject it, despise it, oppose it; but if we neglect it. If a man is in business,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; See, brethren, the punishment for disobeying the word spoken by angels was death; what, then, must be the penalty of neglecting the great salvation wrought by the Divine Redeemer himself? He who does not give earnest heed...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; The apostles and the other followers of our Lord constantly bore witness to his miracles and his resurrection.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; If we neglect that salvation, is there any other way by which we can be rescued from destruction? Is there any other door of escape if we pass that one by? No, there is none.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Those who doubt the truth of the gospel, or who say they do, are often found believing historical statements that are not half as well proved. A man sits down, and reads the book of the Gallic wars, and he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. We are the preachers of it, — not the angels; and the great Author and Finisher of our faith is the Man Christ Jesus, — not an angel. We have not now the ministry of angels, but the ministry of men, by whom the Lord of the angels sends his messages to their...

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. God has not made angels to be the preachers of the gospel. Doubtless they derive some happiness from it, if only from the sight of those converted under it; but it is in no sense under the government of angels.
