The Marriage of the Lamb is a beautiful and fitting look at the wedding ceremony to come, when the Church of Jesus Christ, all the saints of all time, enter into the most special of relationships for eternity with their Redeemer, the very Lamb of God. The author exalts and explains God’s sovereign call to the marriage, the Church’s response, the marriage itself, the perfecting of the Church, and the love of the Lamb of God for His Bride. The Bride’s willing preparation, her separation unto holiness, and her white robes of righteousness unfold before us in splendor. The marriage of the Lamb is so gracious, so lovely and inviting, His people must love Him and follow Him with all their hearts as they look forward to that day. Extensive annotations have been added by Chapel Library to explain difficult or archaic words.
C.H. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
Spurgeon quickly became known as one of the most influential preachers of his time. Well known for his biblical powerful expositions of scripture and oratory ability. In modern evangelical circles he is stated to be the "Prince of Preachers." He pastored the Metropolitan Tabernacle in downtown London, England.His church was part of a particular baptist church movement and they defended and preached Christ and Him crucified and the purity of the Gospel message. Spurgeon never gave altar calls but always extended the invitation to come to Christ. He was a faithful minister in his time that glorified God and brought many to the living Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill).
The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000 - all in the days before electronic amplification.
In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the new Metropolitan Tabernacle.
