Today in History: CH Spurgeon Passed Away on January 31, 1892

C.H. Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers, passed away on January 31, 1892. The impact of his ministry, however, continues to this very day. 

In picturing the day of his own funeral 20 years earlier, Spurgeon said to his congregation:

…when you see my coffin carried to the silent grave, I should like every one of you, whether converted or not, to be constrained to say, “He did earnestly urge us, in plain and simple language, not to put off the consideration of eternal things. He did entreat us to look to Christ.

Even today, more than 130 years after his death, C.H. Spurgeon continues to do just that.
