Christ’s Return?

Today, I’m recording Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s sermon, ‘Christ’s People – Imitators of Him.’ In his sermon, he addressed those who professed Christianity, but did harm to Christ’s name and the church because they did not live as Christ lived, and love one another as our Lord commanded. Accordingly, he asked his hearers two questions: “Is the name of the dear Redeemer precious to you?” Secondly, “Would you see the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ?” Of course, if we could solidly answer ‘yes’ to his first question – that Jesus was precious to us – then he wouldn’t have had to ask his second. Then again, he wouldn’t have had to ask the first question if he knew his flock lived as imitators of Christ, and loved others as commanded. Make sense? I know, I know… you might be thinking that I made gobbledygook of Spurgeon’s message. Gobbledygook? No, not at all, we made gobbledygook of the Gospel because his questions were legitimate.
