“God bless you, dear hearers! We shall never, all of us, meet again on earth—that is not possible among these thousands from all quarters of the globe—but may the sincere penitent prayer of all the unsaved among us be so heard that we may all meet in Heaven! Amen and Amen.”

Remembering C.H. Spurgeon on his birthday today.

——
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) was the most widely read preacher of the nineteenth century and one of the most influential ministers in the history of the Christian church. Born in Kelvedon, Essex, he was converted at age fifteen after hearing a lay preacher expound Isaiah 45:22 — “Look unto me, and be ye saved” — and his life was never the same.

By 1854, at just nineteen years of age, Spurgeon had been called to London's New Park Street Chapel. The congregation grew so rapidly under his preaching that a new building was required, and in 1861 the Metropolitan Tabernacle was opened — seating nearly six thousand people — to accommodate the thousands who came weekly to hear him preach.

Over the course of his ministry, Spurgeon preached more than 3,500 sermons, collected first in the New Park Street Pulpit (7 volumes) and then the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit (63 volumes). His sermons remain in print to this day.
Beyond the pulpit, Spurgeon was a prolific author. Morning and Evening, his beloved daily devotional, continues to nourish Christians around the world each day. His catechism, written for the instruction of children and new believers, distills the doctrines of the faith with characteristic clarity and warmth. His booksspan theology, biography, prayer, and pastoral ministry.

CH Spurgeon died in Menton, France on January 31, 1892, worn out in the service of his Master, and was mourned by Christians around the world. Although generations have passed since his death, Spurgeon’s legacy continues to point others to his Savior.
