The Gospel of Jesus Christ Leads to a Perfect Delirium of Joy!
Charles Spurgeon wrote:
Some years ago, I was deeply depressed. I knew whom I had
believed, but I could not get comfort from the truth I preached. I even
began to wonder if I was really saved.
While on vacation, I went to a Wesleyan chapel. The sermon was full
of the gospel and tears flowed from my eyes. I was in a perfect delirium
of joy. I said, “Oh yes, there is spiritual life within me; the gospel
can still touch my heart and stir my soul.”
When I thanked the good man for his sermon, he looked at me and could
hardly believe his eyes. He said, “Are you not Mr. Spurgeon?”
I replied, “Yes.”
“Dear, dear,” said he, “that was your sermon I preached this morning.”
I knew it was, and that was one reason why I was so comforted. I
realized that I could take my own medicine. I asked the preacher to my
inn for dinner. We rejoiced that he was led to give the people one of my
sermons that day, that I could be fed from my own kitchen.
I do know this. Whatever I may be, there is nothing that moves me like the gospel of Christ.
“For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not
ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is
able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” (2 Tim.
1:12).
Do you feel this way?
It's A Beautiful Gospel
