Accordingly, throughout most of his extensive ministry he refused to alter his teaching schedule to fit in a โChristmasโ sermon, as is so common today. Looking through Spurgeonโs vast teaching archive, we find only 19 instances in which special attention was given to the topic of Christmas.ย
Spurgeonโs focus in these 19 sermons is overwhelmingly the who and why of Christmas. He marveled at the fact that God would send his only Son into the world for people who in no way deserved it.ย
Christ came into the world to save sinners. That was Spurgeonโs focus 150 years ago. We need that message now more than ever.ย
Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
