INTRODUCTION

HELP FOR YOUR SICKNESS

BY C. H. SPURGEON

“When evening was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils:

and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet,

saying, He took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.”

Matthew 8:16, 17.

IT was the eveningin all probability it was the evening of a Sabbath day. The Jews were so tender not to break the Sabbath that they did not even bring forth the sick to the Savior until the evening was come. The Savior would gladly have healed them on the Sabbath, for that was to Him a high day for holy work but they did not think it rightand so they kept back their sick till the day was ended.

If any of you have thought that the time has not come for you to approach the Savior, you have labored under a great error for He would not have you delay for a single hour! But I hope you are now satisfied that you have waited long enough and that at last the evening is near in which you should come to Jesus. God grant that any superstition which has kept you back may be removed and may this be the set time, the hour of Divine Grace to your souls!

Whether it was a Sabbath evening or not, the day had been spent by the Savior in diligent labor, for our Savior took care, when the people would listen to Him on the seventh day, to preach with all His might. As soon as the sun was up, He began to proclaim saving Truth.

He was tired when evening was come and He might have sought rest, but instead of that they brought out the sick to Him to heal and He must close up a weary day by a yet more arduous task. Until darkness had covered the earth He must continue, still, to scatter blessings right and left.

At this hour our blessed Master has laid aside all weariness and now at eventide He is waiting to bless. Whatever has been done during the day, yet if some poor, weary soul has spurned the Divine voice through all the former hours, He is still waiting to save before yet the sun has quite gone down.

When evening was come they brought unto Him those that were sick. We are in like case. Let us put up this prayer to Him, “O You who did bless the sick in the evening, come, now, and bless us while all is cool and still and let us find Your salvation!” What a strange sight that evening saw!
