Everything Else Can Wait

"Dear friends, I am going to preach to you again upon the cornerstone of the gospel. How many times will this make, I wonder? The doctrine of Christ crucified is always with me...Everything else can wait, but this one truth must be proclaimed with a voice of thunder. Others may preach as they will, but as for this pulpit, it shall always resound with the substitution of Christ. 'God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord jesus Christ.' Some may continually preach Christ as an example, and others may perpetually discourse upon his coming to glory: we also preach both of these, but mainly we preach Christ crucified...to them that are saved the power of God, and the wisdom of God."

-CH Spurgeon, Majesty in Misery: Dark Gethsemane, p. 43.
