"The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ." With these words, Spurgeon begins this masterful sermon on 2 Corinthians 5:20, 21. The subject of substitution is vital to our Christian faith. Christ was made sin for us, He suffered God's wrath for us, we are made righteous in Him. These truths are expounded here in a warm and powerful manner.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834[1] – 31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher.

Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the church of his day.

Spurgeon was pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years.

While at the Metropolitan Tabernacle he built an Almshouse, the Stockwell Orphanage and encouraged his congregation to engage actively with the poor of Victorian London. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him posthumously.

Spurgeon authored sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, and hymns.Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. He is said to have produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills are said to have held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars His pierced heart
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023

We are told of the nails in His hands and feet, but not His pierced heart, we are told Jesus died for us but God is removed from
the equation, although it is the Triune God of Israel that saved us. This is eye opening and I recommend everybody read this believing or unbelieving I know you'll be believing at the end, so I challenge you to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Reasons every Christian should read this book
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020
Verified Purchase
1. A clear statement as to what the heart of the gospel is, is defined in the first paragraph and expounded upon throughout the book. The heart of the gospel become more evident through the structured segments within this message.

2. Troubling philosophies and novel-like interpretations of scripture are surfacing all over the world. As Christian's we must be vigilant, for the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

3. At the very least we are not to remain silent and idly sit by while the world perishes. We have a work to do and we must tell the world of this most important message.

4. When the message is considered against the backdrop of sin, it is amplified even further to suggest that at the heart of the gospel is a most beautiful compassionate act of love.

5. The act of substitution does not seperate us from the law, it ties us to it. We are the embodiment of our Lord and Savior and this is clearly defined in the heart of the gospel message.

I have been a Christian for 48 years and the message our pulpits SHOULD resonate is the urgency of this MESSAGE of giving our hearts and lives to Christ Jesus!!!!!!! And the pleading of ALL Christians to NEVER let an opportunity slip by in sharing the gift of SALVATION that our Lord Jesus died for to give us!!!!!!! This book deserves more than 5 stars!!!!!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to new and seasoned Christians!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually Edifying
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016
This is another message by Spurgeon that I read in 2016 in light of my hunger to read things by the Prince of Preacher. This booklet focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:20-21. What I appreciate about Spurgeon is that he is essentially timeless because he preaches the Gospel and definitely 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 is a Gospel text. Although this was originally a sermon by Spurgeon delivered in 1886 it is still relevant for people to read and hear it today. As I read this booklet I wished there would be more contemporary preachers who embodied the spirit of Spurgeon’s preaching.
The way the booklet is organized is stated early on by Spurgeon as the following: "…I am going to handle, first, the great doctrine, and then afterwards, and secondly, as God shall help me, we shall come to the great argument which is contained in the 20th verse." As Spurgeon dived into the great doctrine states in our Scripture he makes three more additional points: (1) "Now consider, first, who was made sin for us," (2) "This leads me on to the second point of the text, which is, what was done with him who knew no sin? He was "made sin," and (3) "So I pass on to notice in the third place, who did it? The text saith, "He hath made him to be sin for us""
Like other works by Spurgeon this work also had memorable quotes and one-liners. It’s not just a collection of pithy sayings, but it’s the truth that Spurgeon conveys that warms our hearts to love Jesus more and value the Gospel more. For instance I was quite moved by this quote from Spurgeon: "I have not known men made to live unto God and holiness except by the doctrine of the death of Christ on man's behalf." How true do I see that in my own life! Spurgeon is right to go on and say "The story of the great Lover of the souls of men who gave himself for their salvation is still in the hand of the Holy Ghost the greatest of all forces in the realm of mind." Spurgeon also preaches the truth and doesn’t waste time beating behind the bush. For example concerning those who deny substitutionary atonement Spurgeon stated the following: "To read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah, and to accept it as relating to the Messiah, and then to deny his substitutionary sacrifice is simply wickedness." He’s frank to his audiences when he told them the following: "You came just to hear a well-known preacher; I pray you forget the preacher, and think only of yourself, your God and your Saviour." It is refreshing to read of celebrity preachers who points people to Christ and not just themselves. I wished more preachers today would follow Spurgeon’s example to preach Christ and the great doctrines that make up the truth of the Gospel.

It's a short reader but each page is filled with inspiration on living a Godly life. It also stresses that not only must we pray for ourselves but for all humanity. We must do this in respect to the sacrifice that Our Lord Jesus did.

I've never heard any voice recordings (maybe there are none given the time he lived) but you could imagine his booming voice which comes through each exploring phrase. A message that you can never hear too many times
