That Gospel Sermon on the Blessed Hope

A religious sermon presented in the late 19th century. This publication captures a powerful address by the renowned evangelist D.L. Moody delivered at the Great Chicago Tabernacle in 1877, focusing on the Christian doctrine of the Second Coming of Christ. The sermon emphasizes themes of hope, prophecy, and the anticipation of Christ's return, aiming to invigorate the faith and morale of believers. In this sermon, Moody urges Christians to grasp and cherish the belief in Christ's imminent return, which he argues is a core aspect of New Testament scripture. He highlights the importance of being spiritually prepared and vigilant, as the return will come unexpectedly, akin to a thief in the night. Moody references various biblical texts to assert the certainty of this event, assuring listeners of the transformative power of this hope. He reflects on the joy and urgency that such a belief can bring to the lives of believers, motivating them to actively share their faith and live out their spiritual duties while they await this momentous event.
