Spurgeon's Sermons Charles Spurgeon

First, they are such as have been endured by your fellow Christians. I know that you are tempted to think that you are a lone traveler on a road that nobody has ever traversed before you, but if you carefully examine the track, you can discover the footprints of some of the best of God's servants who have passed along that wearisome way. It is a very dark lane, you say-one that might truly be called, "Cut-Throat Lane." Ah, but you will find that Apostles have been along that way, confessors have been that way, martyrs have been that way-and the best of God's saints have been tempted just as you now are.
