DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1872 BY C. H. SPURGEON,
AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.
“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan
to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For
this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it
might depart from me. And He said unto me, My Grace is sufficient for you:
for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly,
therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:7, 8, 9
