The Heart of the Gospel

"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.
