Spurgeon Lecture

“The day will come, dear friend, when your cheeks, all befouled with weeping, shall be washed, and made fair to look upon. Your eyes may be weary with waiting and watching, and red with weeping; but that weeping shall endure only for a night. “Joy cometh in the morning,” as surely as the morning cometh after the night. Bear your sorrows bravely, for they are appointed of your Heavenly Father in supreme wisdom. Bear them joyfully, for they will bring forth to you the peaceable fruits of righteousness.”

With this last session, what I’d like to do is encourage our hearts on two accounts.

That we would bear our sorrows bravely

That we would bear our sorrows joyfully

Jesus is the man of sorrows, but Spurgeon was A man of sorrows.

What grief did he face in his life and ministry?
