Spurgeon's Zeal

Charles Spurgeon, the "Prince of Preachers" in the 19th Century, wrote that the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) "is the Church's right." Spurgeon evinced boldness when he wrote,

All power is given to Christ . . . What then? Why this. Kings and princes . . . are [you] aware that your thrones have been given away? . . . Do [you] pass decrees forbidding the gospel to be preached? We laugh at you! You have no power to prevent it, for all power is given to Christ . . . [The church] has rights . . . rights in heaven without limit, and rights in earth without bound; for all power is given to her Head  . . . What is that man doing on yonder shore? . . . He is an intruder, banish him at once! Sirs, mind what you do, for surely [you] fight against God. But the man is sent away, he comes back again . . . A severer edict is passed this time, "Let us slay him . . ." But another comes, and another, and another.
