Without Christ – Charles Spurgeon
A SOUL without Christ! Why, it were better for you, man, that you had never been born if you shall continue so! you Would be better off with the mill-stone about your neck, and east into the sea, if that would make an end of you. You were happier far than you are now without Christ, for without Christ you are without God, and without hope in the world. You are a sheep lost on the mountains, and no Shepherd to find you; a soul wandering in the blackness of darkness, and no lamp to guide your wandering footsteps; and soon you will be a desolate spirit, without a comfort, without a home, shut out in the blackness of darkness forever! Does not that make you long for Christ? Oh! it would, if I could make you feel what I can only say. I can only deal with your outward ears; my Master must deal with your hearts; and I do pray him, by his mighty Spirit, to make you feel so wretched without Christ, that you will not dare to sleep until you have sought him, and laid hold upon him, and said, “I will not let you go!
