INTRODUCTION

BY C. H. SPURGEON

“For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ.”

2 Corinthians 1:5.

Seek you rest from your distresses, you children of woe and sorrow? This is the place where you may lighten your burden and lose your cares. Oh, son of affliction and misery, would you forget for a time your pains and griefs? This is the Bethesda, the house of mercy!

This is the place where God designs to cheer you and to make your distresses stay their never-ceasing course. This is the spot where His children love to be found, because here they find consolation in the midst of tribulation, joy in their sorrows and comfort in their afflictions. Even worldly men admit that there is something extremely comforting in the sacred Scriptures and in our holy religion! I have even heard it said of some that after they had, by their logic, as they thought, annihilated Christianity and proved it to be untrue, they acknowledged that they had spoilt an excellently comforting delusion and that they could almost sit down and weep to think it was not a reality.

Yes, my friends, if it were not true, you might weep. If the Bible were not the truth of God if we could not meet together around His mercy seat, then you might put your hands upon your loins and walk about as if you were in travail. If you had not something in the world beside your reason, beside the fleeting joys of earth if you had not something which God had given to you, some hope beyond the sky, some refuge that should be more than terrestrial, some deliverance which should be more than earthly, then you might weep ah, weep your heart out at your eyes and let your whole bodies waste away in one perpetual tear!

You might ask the clouds to rest on your head, the rivers to roll down in streams from both your eyes, for your grief would “have need of all the watery things that nature could produce.” But, blessed be God, we have consolation, we have joy in the Holy Spirit! We find it nowhere else. We have raked the earth through, but we have never discovered a jewel.

We have turned this dung hill of a world over and over a thousand times and we have found nothing that is precious. But here, in this Bible, here in the religion of the blessed Jesus, we, the sons of God, have found comfort and joy. We can truly say, “As our afflictions abound, so our consolations also abound by Christ.”

There are four things in my text to which I invite your attention. The first is the sufferings to be expected“The sufferings of Christ abound in us.” Secondly, the distinction to be noticed they are thesufferings of Christ. Thirdly, a proportion to be experienced as the sufferings of Christ abound, so our consolations abound. And fourthly, the person to be honored. “So our consolation abounds by CHRIST.”

CHAPTER 1

Our first division, then, is THE SUFFERINGS TO BE EXPECTED.

Our holy apostle says, “The sufferings of Christ abound in us.” Before we buckle on the Christian armor we ought to know what that service is which is expected of us. A recruiting sergeant often slips a shilling into the hand of some ignorant youth and tells him that Her Majesty’s service is a fine thing, that he has nothing to do but walk about in his flaming colors, that he will have no hard service in fact, that he has nothing to do but to be a soldier and go straight on to glory! But the Christian servant, when he enlists a soldier of the Cross, never deceives him like that. Jesus Christ Himself said, “Count the cost.”
