Charles SpurgeonWhen the pangs shoot through our body, and ghastly death appears in view, people see the patience of the dying Christian. Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God's love glitters all the more brightly. Thank God I can suffer ! Thank God I can be made the object of shame and contempt, for in this way God shall be glorified.
Charles SpurgeonIt is sweet to remember that the exaltation of Christ in heaven is a representative exaltation. He is exalted at the Father's right hand, and though as Jehovah He had eminent glories, in which finite creatures cannot share, yet as the Mediator, the honours which Jesus wears in heaven are the heritage of all the saints. It is delightful to reflect how close is Christ's union with His people. We are actually one with Him; we are members of His body; and His exaltation is our exaltation.
Charles SpurgeonIt was nothing less than a stretch of divine love for Jesus to give himself for our sins. It was gracious for the Infinite to conceive of such a thing; but for him to carry it out was glorious beyond all.
Charles SpurgeonInfinite, and an infant. Eternal, and yet born of a woman. Almighty, and yet hanging on a womanโs breast. Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a motherโs arms. King of angels, and yet the reputed son of Joseph. Heir of all things, and yet the carpenterโs despised son.
