In "The Light of Evening," Charles Spurgeon reflects on the inevitability of aging and death, contrasting the experiences of worldly individuals with those of faithful Christians.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892), known as the "Prince of Preachers," was a towering figure in Christian history. Converted at age 15, Spurgeon soon began preaching, and by 19, he was called to pastor New Park Street Chapel in London. Under his leadership, the church grew rapidly, prompting a move to the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where he preached to thousands.
Spurgeon’s sermons, known for their biblical depth and accessibility, spread globally through print, and he became a leading voice for Reformed theology, emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement. He authored numerous works, including the influential All of Grace and The Treasury of David.
Beyond preaching, Spurgeon founded an orphanage and the Pastor's College, training countless ministers. He stood firm against theological liberalism during the Down Grade Controversy, though it cost him dearly. Spurgeon also advocated for social justice, speaking against slavery and poverty.
Despite battling illness and depression, Spurgeon’s faith never wavered. His legacy endures through his sermons, writings, and his profound impact on evangelical thought and pastoral ministry. He remains a beloved figure in church history, honored for his unwavering commitment to the gospel.
