A sermon that will make the devils in Hell laugh, and the angels of God weep!
(Charles Spurgeon)
“For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2Β
TheΒ best sermonsΒ are the sermons which are most full of Christ.Β
A sermon without Christ it is a horrible thing! It is . . .
Β an empty well;Β
Β a cloud without rain;Β
Β a tree twice dead, plucked by the roots.Β
It is abominable to give men stones for bread, and scorpions for eggs–and yet they do so who preach not Jesus.Β
A sermon without Christ! As well talk of a loaf of bread without any flour in it. How can it feed the soul? Men die and perish because Christ is not there, and yet His glorious gospel is theΒ easiestΒ thing to preach, and theΒ sweetestΒ thing to preach–there is mostΒ varietyΒ in it, there is moreΒ attractivenessΒ in it than in all the world besides!
The sermon which does not lead to Christ, or of which Jesus Christ is not the top and the bottom–is a sort ofΒ sermon that will make the devils in Hell laugh, and the angels of God weep!
The mark of true Gospel preaching is where Christ is everything, and the creature is nothing; where salvation is all of grace, through the work of the Holy Spirit applying to the soul the precious blood of Jesus.
“We preach Christ crucified!” 1 Corinthians 1:23Β
