His Best Adornment

Dear Friends,

I once knew a pastor whose goal in life was to never quote Charles Haddon Spurgeon because everyone quotes Spurgeon. Well, the reason Spurgeon is quoted so often is because everything he wrote is worthy of being quoted! Whenever I have read anything by Spurgeon I have thought to myself, "There is no wonder as to why this man pastored a mega-church in the days before mega-churches."

Yesterday I came accross a Spurgeon quote that got me to thinking. I'll share it with you without comment. Just meditate on what he's saying for a moment.

Do you want arguments for soul winning? Look up to Heaven, and ask yourself how sinners can ever reach those harps of gold and learn that everlasing song, unless they have someone to tell them of Jesus, who is mighty to save. But the best argument of all is to be found in the wounds of Jesus. You want to honor Him, you desire to put many crowns upon His head, and this you best do by winning souls for Him. These are the spoils that He covets, these are the trophies for which He fights, these are the jewels that shall be His best adornment.

May we lay before Jesus what He most desires. May we crown Him with many crowns. May we honor Him with trophies and jewels eternal.

Peace,

Ernest
