The Last Battle: A Spurgeon Sermon on Death, Sin, and Christ’s Victory
"The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But, thanks be unto God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."—1 Corinthians 15:56-57
In 'Thoughts on the Last Battle,' Spurgeon reflects on the universal reality of death, which he calls "the last battle" that every person must face. He emphasizes that while death is certain and cannot be avoided, what makes it truly dreadful is its "sting"—sin—and the strength of that sting is the law of God, which condemns the sinner.
But for the believer, Christ has removed that sting by bearing sin and fulfilling the law on our behalf. Spurgeon urges his hearers to examine whether they are in Christ, for only those who are saved can face death with peace and even triumph. He points to the Christian's hope not in an escape of physical death but in victory over it through Jesus Christ.
This sermon was preached on May 13, 1855 and is found in Volume 1 of the New Park Street Pulpit.
