Spurgeon was considered by many to be the greatest preacher of his generation and lived during the nineteenth-century revival of the celebration of Christmas in America and England. He loved Christmas and welcomed the holiday season as an opportunity for rest and being reunited with friends and family.

How can Christians properly celebrate Christmas today? Certainly, Christmas trees, gift-giving, family reunions, and many other customs can all be joyful traditions of the season. But Spurgeon would say that the primary way to celebrate Christmas is by faith in the incarnate, crucified, and risen Savior. That's why A Wondrous Mystery exists: amid a busy holiday season, it is meant to be a daily reminder of why we celebrate--that "the Infinite has become an infant" and "the joy of his coming is still in our hearts."

Endorsements (5)

“No preacher of God's Word speaks to me more powerfully than Charles Spurgeon. His are the words of an old friend, though sadly many of my other friends don't yet know him. Many thanks to Geoff Chang for giving us Spurgeon's rich insights into Christ's incarnation.”

“While some mines quickly exhaust their stores of precious metals, others keep giving forever. And so too do the works of Charles Spurgeon. This book is a collection of treasures that will bless you this Christmas or any Christmas.”

“A Wondrous Mystery contains pure gold from Spurgeon's treasury of teaching on the incarnation. Far from being an opponent of Christmas celebrations, Spurgeon joined them. Though opposing religious superstition, he championed the Christmas holiday. This volume by Geoff Chang will delight you, deepen your theology of Christmas, and be a helpful tool for family worship.”

“In A Wondrous Mystery, Geoff Chang has collected Spurgeon's Christmas sermons to help us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. I can think of no better way to respond to the busyness of Christmas than to slow down and meditate on the glories of the incarnation.”

“Spurgeon's captivation with Christ bubbles over as he dwells upon the incarnation. Combining deep thought and deep delight, his studies of the Son of God taking our nature settle our faith and stir our love. These sweet extracts, judiciously chosen and helpfully introduced, reveal and stimulate reverence and joy rooted in the wonder of Immanuel—God with us.”

He is widely regarded as one of the nineteenth century's best preachers, and his sermons have been translated into over forty languages.
