The narration of a sermon delivered by C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, London.
Mr. Spurgeon makes a good number of helpful and instructive points in this sermon, which focusses on the words of Jesus, that He used to the woman who washed His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head ... "Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace."
Early on in the sermon he frames what he is going to say by summarising thus:
"I am going to say a little in my opening upon that delightful assurance which constituted the reason why the woman went in peace: "Thy faith hath saved thee;" or, as in the fourty-eighth verse, "Thy sins are forgiven thee." Upon the strength of that assurance that she was saved, she might safely go in peace. When we have talked a little upon that subject, we will come to a considerate precept: the Saviour directed her, in the moment of trial, to "Go in peace." There was an assurance for her comfort, and a precept for her guidance."
He closes by urging his hearers to believe, and gives the ground by which we may know we are saved; that we too may have assurance of our salvation, and therefore be enabled to "Go in peace."
