Excerpt from the Sermon “The Bible” by Charles Spurgeon
“The science of Jesus Christ is the most excellent of sciences. Let no one turn away from the Bible because it is not a book of learning and wisdom. It is. Would ye know astronomy? It is here: it tells you of the Sun of Righteousness and the Star of Bethlehem Would you know botany? It is here: it tells of the plant of renown- the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon. Would you know geology and mineralogy You shall learn it here: for you may read of the Rock of Ages, and the White Stone with the name engraven thereon, which no man knoweth saving he that recieveth it. Would ye study history? Here is the most ancient of all the records of the history of the human race. Whate’er you science is, come and bend o’er this book; your science is here. Come and drink out of this fair fount of knowledge and wisdom, and ye shall find yourselves made wise unto salvation. Wise and foolish, babes and men, grey-headed sires, youths and maidens- I speak to you, I plead with you, I beg of you respect your Bibles, and search them out, for in them ye think ye have have eternal life, and these are they which testify of Christ.” Charles Spurgeon
