Spurgeon’s Daily Help
We love Jesus when we are advanced in the divine life, from a participation with him in the great work of his incarnation. We long to see our fellow-men turned from darkness to light, and we love him as the sun of righteousness, who can alone illuminate them. We hate sin, and therefore we rejoice in
him as manifested to take away sin. We pant for holier and happier times, and therefore we adore him as the coming Ruler of all lands, who will bring a millennium with him in the day of his appearing. Love the soul of every man with all the intensity of your being.

Truth is as the clusters of the vine which need treading in the wine-vat before they yield their generous juice. We must cast the doctrines of Scripture into the winepress of meditation, and tread them with the joyful feet of holy thought, or their refreshing
essence will be wasted. "Meditate on these things, give yourself wholly to them."
