Gloom Hits Even The Joyful
- Deep spiritual depression can affect even the brightest Christians and sap their ability to use comforting promises.
- Rest, change of scene, and casting cares on God often precede the soul's recovery.
Sailors Dying Amid Fresh Water
- Spurgeon recounted sailors dying of thirst while sailing in the mouth of the Amazon to show people's ignorance of nearby mercy.
- He used this to illustrate souls surrounded by gospel comfort yet refusing to drink.
Accept Mercy As Offered
- Come to the gospel as you are; it suits the sinful, weak, and broken-hearted without preconditions.
