The beauty of Christ as seen through the eyes of C. H. Spurgeon
In The Best Beloved we are told a glimpse of Him has won our hearts, and made Him dearer to our eyes than light.
In The Rose and The Lily we are to regard Christ as a luxurious delicacy, as a rare and ravishing delight.
In Under the Apple Tree we find the joys of fellowship with God are written in marble.
In Love Joining in Love we are asked to eat and drink all the stores of the banquet of love.
In My Garden - His Garden we learn we have not any idea of what holiness, and glory, and bliss shall yet be ours.
In A Refreshing Canticle we are assured Christ will not let His people forget His love.
In The Best of the Best we see all good things meet in Christ; in Him all the lines of beauty are focused.
“…yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved,
and this is my friend…” Song of Solomon 5:16
He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
