A Christmas Question | A CH Spurgeon Sermon on Isaiah 9:6
Manage episode 454898971 series 3590238
In “A Christmas Question,” Spurgeon challenges his listeners to move beyond mere festive celebrations to examine whether they can include themselves in Isaiah's words that that "unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.”
By posing a direct question—whether each individual can truly call Jesus their own—Spurgeon encourages self-reflection, urging people not to be content with superficial religiosity but to seek a genuine, soul-transforming relationship with Christ, which alone makes Christmas meaningful and joyful.
This sermon was preached on December 25, 1859 at Exeter Hall. It is published in Volume 6 of the New Park Street Pulpit.
"The matter of question is this: Is this child born to us? Is he given to us? This is the matter of anxious enquiry. Have we a personal interest in the child that was born at Bethlehem? Do we know that He is our Savior?—that he has brought glad tidings to us?—that to us He belongs? and that we belong to Him?" — CH Spurgeon
