If Christ is truly all that we say, then Charles Spurgeon concludes ....
"Ah Christian, ring the bells of your hearts, fire the salute of your most joyous songs, 'For unto us a child is borm, unto us a Son is given.' Dance, dance every one of you! Oh! All my nerves become harp strings and let gratitude touch you with angelic fingers! And thou, my tongue, shout- shout to his praise, who hath said to thee- 'Unto thee a child is born, unto thee a Son is given.' Wipe that tear away! Come, stop that sighing! Hush yon mourning. What matters your poverty? "Unto you a child is born." What matters your sickness? "Unto you a Son is given." What matters your sin? For this child shall take away, and this Son shall wash and make you fit for heaven. I say, if it be so, "Lift up the heart, lift up the voice, rejoice aloud! ye saints rejoice!"

About Me
- Soli Deo Gloria
- I have long enjoyed reading sermons, theological works, treatises, polemics, and commentaries from the Church Fathers, Reformers and Puritans. Although these saints have passed centuries ago, their wisdom continues to minister to all those who take the time to listen. Their dedication to the study and exposition of the scriptures have encouraged, challenged, and provoked me to take serious my faith, my teaching, and my walk with God. I pray my devotional blog seasoned with ancient wisdom will do the same for you.
