Lively Reading: Number One Thousand or, Bread Enough and To Spare

Description
This was a landmark for Spurgeon, reflected in the title and substance of his thousandth sermon. Without drawing excessive attention to the occasion, but rather offering a subtle testimony to the mercies of God through the years to this point, and in a tone of humble wonder and sincere appreciation, the preacher emphasises the exceeding abundance of God’s grace in Christ. There is so much, and for so many, for all who come! As a person trusting in Jesus, as a pastor caring for others, as a preacher holding out the Saviour, Spurgeon exults in the generous goodness of God. As you might expect, he employs the text to offer the most wonderful hope to the most needy of sinners, bringing challenge to those who hold off, and comfort to those who come in.
