Life in Christ Vol 9 Lessons from Our Lord's Miracles and Parables

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46)

Volume 9

A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables.

Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn't those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire.

I can't put fine words together. I've never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal punishment. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation.

- Charles H. Spurgeon

In this ninth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds on the pearl of great price, the parable of the vineyard workers, the first and the last, the parable of the wedding feast, the parable of the talents, the parable of the sower, the blind leading the blind, the separating of the goats and the sheep, and he includes a message for nominal believers.
