Spurgeon: A Peculiar Man

Speaking at a lecture series on Charles Spurgeon, Alistair Begg observes that much like John the Baptist, the famous Victorian-era preacher was multifaceted and peculiar. Both men were distinguished by the divine authority bestowed upon them, a helpful humility, clear integrity, unequivocal bravery, and simplicity. Most importantly, though, they both prioritized pointing away from themselves and directing the focus toward Jesus Christ. Our lives ought to emulate theirs and consistently proclaim, “Prepare the way of the Lord.”

Alistair Begg is Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Bible teacher on Truth For Life, which is heard on the radio and online around the world.
