Spurgeon Saturday
Fear Not!
“Dear friends, we are God’s children now…” (1 John 3:2)
That is easy to read, but it is not so easy to feel. How is it with your heart this morning? Are you in the lowest depths of sorrow? Does corruption rise within your spirit, and grace seem like a poor spark trampled underfoot? Does your faith almost fail you? Fear not, it is neither your graces nor feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith on Christ
— C. H. Spurgeon
My new Easter devotional from Spurgeon, The Risen King: 40 Devotions for Easter from C. H. Spurgeon, is now available.
The readings take you through the Gospels, surveying Jesus’s ministry and concluding at the cross and resurrection. Each day includes Scripture, Spurgeon’s comments, reflection questions and a short prayer (from me). If you love Spurgeon, this will feel like a brand-new book from him. This would be a great way to get Spurgeon into the hands of your church, too.
Thank you for this reminder that feelings are unreliable. Faith alone. Christ alone.
