The episode opens with the April 9th devotional reading from Luke 23:27 about a multitude following Jesus to his condemnation, including women beating their breasts and lamenting. Spurgeon identifies these as gracious people whose bitter sadness expressed itself through weeping. He calls this the appropriate music for that march of misfortune. When his soul imagines seeing the Savior carrying his cross to Calvary, it joins those pious women in tears. Spurgeon states there is genuine cause for lamentation, with a reason deeper than those women realized. They mourned maltreated innocence, persecuted goodness, and bleeding love. The devotional then shifts to comparative spiritual reflections. Spurgeon notes the widow of Naim had her son resurrected, but he himself was resurrected with Christ to newness of life. Peter's mother-in-law was healed of a fever, but Spurgeon was healed of the more severe plague of sin. Mary Magdalene had seven demons expelled, but a legion of demons was expelled from Spurgeon himself. Mary and Martha were favored with visits from Our Lord, but He dwells within Spurgeon. Finally, Jesus's mother carried him in her womb, but in Spurgeon's case, Christ is formed within him as the fetus.
