Additionally, The Complete Spurgeon Sermon Collection can also serve as a full Bible commentary as there are sermons and expositions from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. This collection is an invaluable tool in both sermon preparation and understanding. Let us remember then, in anything we have to do for Jesus, that we can do it, and should do it in close communion with him.This is the most complete collection of Charles Spurgeon's sermons available in print or digitally! In this collection there are over 3,550 sermons from one of the most gifted speakers and blessed Christian leaders of our era. Those who have most fellowship with Christ are not recluses or hermits, who have much time to spare, but indefatigable labourers who are toiling for Jesus, and who, in their toil, have him side by side with them, so that they are workers together with God. Paul called it a grace given to him to be allowed to preach and every form of Christian service may become a personal blessing to those engaged in it. Do not think that activity is in itself an evil: it is a great blessing, and a means of grace to us. Even so, Christians are not to be praised for neglecting duties under the pretence of having secret fellowship with Jesus: it is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus' feet which is commendable. Mary was not praised for sitting still but for her sitting at Jesus' feet. Certain is it that a professor may do nothing, and yet grow quite as lifeless in spiritual things as those who are most busy. Doubtless it is very easy to fritter away our inward life in outward exercises, and come to complain with the spouse, 'They made me keeper of the vineyards but mine own vineyard have I not kept ' but there is no reason why this should be the case except our own folly and neglect.

Some imagine that they cannot serve Christ actively, and yet have fellowship with him: they are mistaken. Observe that the church, when she is in her right mind, in all her many labours desires to enjoy communion with Christ. Like our first parents, we are put into the garden of the Lord for usefulness let us therefore go forth into the field. She does not say, 'I will go,' but 'let us go.' It is blessed working when Jesus is at our side! It is the business of God's people to be trimmers of God's vines. The church was about to engage in earnest labour, and desired her Lord's company in it. 'Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field. He who gave himself for us in the depths of woe and death, doth not withdraw the grant now that he is enthroned in the highest heavens. His high estate is as much at our service as was his condition of abasement. His dominion over principalities and powers, and his absolute majesty in heaven, he employs for the benefit of them who trust in him. Upon his breastplate he is now bearing our names and in his authoritative pleadings at the throne he remembers our persons and pleads our cause. Whatever blissful consequences flow from perfect obedience, finished atonement, resurrection, ascension, or intercession, all are ours by his own gift. The bloody sweat, the scourge, the cross, are ours forever. The marvellous incarnation of the God of heaven, with all the amazing condescension and humiliation which attended it, is ours. The great betrothal of the Prince of Glory is ours, for it is to us that he is affianced, as the sacred nuptials shall ere long declare to an assembled universe. In the everlasting settlements of predestinating wisdom and omnipotent decree, the eye of the Lord Jesus was ever fixed on us and we may rest assured that in the whole roll of destiny there is not a line which militates against the interests of his redeemed. He had from all eternity the prerogatives of Sonship, as his Father's only-begotten and well-beloved Son, and he has, in the riches of his grace, by adoption and regeneration, elevated us to sonship also, so that to us he has given 'power to become the sons of God.' The eternal covenant, based upon suretiship and confirmed by oath, is ours, for our strong consolation and security. In the mysterious ages of the past the Lord Jesus was his Father's first elect, and in his election he gave us an interest, for we were chosen in him from before the foundation of the world. 'Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings.'ДЄll the goodness of the past, the present, and the future, Christ bestows upon his people.
