Spurgeon GEMS volume 1
{This page is a work in progress}
One wrong step—and down we go!
A solemn sham and an impudent mockery!
This was his final verdict!
We must be wedded
to the Leah of real holiness
Petty wars over abstruse
points and unimportant questions
The diamonds of heaven!
Holy shuddering!
Amidst all the changes of this troublous life
Have you seen Jesus lately?
Little did she know, that amid the sheaves
That unclean donkey is yourself!
That is all they have to enjoy
Look into those languid eyes!
The infinite tenderness of Jesus!
Pride cannot live beneath the cross!
Do not forsake me, O Lord!
Calvary's tragedy!
Rise up My love,
My beautiful one—and come away!
These scars!
Take both sorrow and sin
to the same place!
The diamond rivet!
We need You to bring us to You!
Your children
Lest Madam Bubble
bewitch them with her vile suggestions
They were not carried
to heaven on beds of ease!
Surely something must be amiss with the scales!
The Breaker!
He who eats the grapes of Sodom
O blessed hurricane!
Sin is shut out—
and they are shut in!
The knife of the heavenly Surgeon
Grace found her a maniac—
and made her a minister!
Blight and mildew and hail
Behold the Emperor of Woe!
Two precious jewels glittering side by side
Christ's garden
Oh, the atrocity!
MY having been His murderer!
As white as the lily—
and as red as the rose
Those ghastly corpses
might well have affrighted Rizpah!
He is dull, heavy, lumpy—
all but dead
A little thing?
If I might but get the broken crumbs!
Do you understand what you read?
Look up today, O parched plant!
The grand object of the eye of faith!
A portion for each day
HE cares for ME!
Shame on you—
O silly heart!
The devil's jackals!
If there were an ant
at the door of your granary
Such likeness between men and swine!
A football to be kicked from man to man
