Old Made New

Beloved nineteenth-century pastor Charles Spurgeon wrestled with dark depression, debilitating illness, personal sorrow, and ministerial trials. Suffering was not just a component of his life-it was the dark cloud that hung over all his labors and accomplishments. Yet Spurgeon leaned into the caring hands of his unchanging, compassionate Savior who experienced suffering himself. Your Only Comfort draws from Spurgeon's best teachings on suffering to bring that comfort to a new generation. Suffering is inevitable in a fallen world, but it is in the middle of distress that the truth of our hope shines brightest. We can rest in the steadfast goodness of Christ, cling to God's promises to bring good from our trials, and rejoice in the eternal glory that awaits believers.

Because we have read and heard the accounts of the crucifixion and resurrection so many times, we often move too quickly over some of the more intricate details of the last days of Jesus's life. Why did he wash the disciples' feet? Why was he crowned with thorns? Why was he silent before Herod? What Depths of Love allows readers to slow down and meditate on these and other fascinating details of Christ's final moments on Earth. Spurgeon's deep understanding of the cross and resurrection, made accessible to modern readers, will enrich your walk with Christ, help you cherish the glorious hope of salvation, and encourage you to proclaim him boldly. From Gethsemane to Golgotha to the empty grave, these sermons proclaim Christ crucified and risen, the blazing center of Spurgeon's theology and ministry. If you pick up this book outside of the Lent and Easter season, fear not! As editor Geoffrey Chang points out, Spurgeon would say not to worry too much about the church calendar but make it your ambition to repent and meditate on Christ crucified all year round.
