Charles Spurgeon Quotes

Christ died for the truth.

Are you not moved to tears and bitter compassion, when you behold the only Son of God seized by the most impious, dragged away, mocked, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crowned with thorns, hung upon the infamous cross between two thieves, finally in such a horrible and execrable manner suffering death, for your salvation and that of the world?

Christ died for me and you, and we embrace that or we don't.

If the goal of an actor is to tell the best story ever, there's no higher story than Jesus Christ.
