An email sent to me from Thomas B. capturing Spurgeon’s words on the Christ:
I would propose that the subject of the ministry in this house, as long as this platform shall stand, & as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers, shall be the person of JESUS CHRIST. I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist; I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist; But if I am asked what is my creed, I reply, “It is Jesus Christ.” My venerated predecessor, Dr. Gill, has left a Body of Divinity, admirable & excellent in its way; but the Body of Divinity to which I would pin & bind myself for ever, God helping me, is not his system, or any other human treatise, but Christ Jesus, who is the Sum & Substance of the Gospel, who is in himself all theology, the incarnation of every precious truth, the all-glorious personal embodiment of the way, the truth, & the life.
