Tuesday, April 21, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”—Job 19:25.

Monday, April 13, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me.”—Song of Solomon 1:13. MYRRH may well be chosen as the type of Jesus on account of its preciousness, its perfume, its pleasantness, its healing, preserving, disinfecting qualities, and its connection with sacrifice. But why is He compared to “a bundle of… (more…)

Monday, March 30, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “He was numbered with the transgressors.” — Isaiah 53:12 Why did Jesus suffer Himself to be enrolled amongst sinners?
