C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

Reconciliation by the blood, by the substitutionary sacrifice of the infinite Son of God, this is the message for our ministry: if we do not testify this it were better for us that we had never been born; for if we do not preach this constantly and incessantly, we have missed our main topic, we have failed in the great commission which our Master sent us to execute. 1124.426 No man at the last will be able to say to the Saviour, “You set your servants an impossible task, and you gave them an instrument to wield which was not at all adapted to produce its end.” 1654.212 Before he left them, he gave them that great commission which is still binding upon all his followers, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” 2221.471 We cannot too often remind this age in which we live of this truth, for this is a time in which it is supposed that rites and ceremonies, human learning and literature, and I know not what beside, may very properly be allowed to supplant the preaching of the Word. Yet our Lord has given no intimation of any change in his purpose and plan; on the contrary, his great commission is evidently intended to cover the whole of the present dispensation: “Go ye therefore, and teach (that is, make disciples of) all nations, baptizing them (that is, those who have been made disciples,) in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world (or, more properly, unto the end of the age). Amen.” 3224.553
