In the 5th, 6th, and 7th chapters of the Gospel according to Matthew are recorded the words of Christ as He presented them to the multitudes in the message we now call '""The Sermon on the Mount."" Beginning with the beloved Beatitudes, and closing with instructions on ""how to pray,"" this marvelous Sermon contains practical teachings on how Christians ought to conduct themselves. The Sermon closes with an inspiring glimpse into what glories await the Christian beyond the grave. All those who know and tlove the work of Charles Haddon Spurgeon will agree that no preacher could make this Sermon live for the reader with more God-given eloquence than could the ""Prince of Preachers.'' In this series of messages on the Beatitudes and other great Truths of the Gospel delivered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, Spurgeon is at his best! Every one of these messages is full to overflowing with the inspiration and fire which characterized Spurgeon's unusual ministry--a ministry which began many years ago and is still continuing in this modern day. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was an English Baptist preacher and author. Among his many publications are The Heart of the Gospel, Immeasurable Love, and The Saint and His Saviour.
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.
