Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)

"Permit me to tell you what the King has done for you. He knew your guilt, he foresaw that you would ruin yourself. He knew that his justice would demand your blood. And in order that this difficulty might be escaped, that his justice might have it's full due, and that you might be yet saved, Jesus Christ hath died. Will you just for a moment glance at this picture. You see that man on his knees in the Garden of Gethsemane, sweating drops of blood. You see this next: You see this miserable sufferer tied to a pillar and lashed with terrible scourges, till the shoulder bones are seen, like white islands in a sea of blood. Again, you see this third picture; it is the same man hanging on the cross with hands extended, and with feet nailed fast, dying, groaning, bleeding: methought the picture spoke and said, 'It is finished!'"(Source: Spurgeon's sermon, Compel them to Come in)
