From Spurgeon’s morning entry for December 25:

“Let us to-day go down to Bethlehem, and in company with wondering shepherds and adoring Magi, let us see Him who was born King of the Jews, for we by faith can claim an interest in Him, and can sing, ‘Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.’ Jesus is Jehovah incarnate, our Lord and our God, and yet our brother and friend; let us adore and admire. ”

And some snippets from his evening entry for Christmas Day:

“What the patriarch [referring to Job 1:5] did early in the morning, after the family festivities, it will be well for the believer to do for himself ere he rests tonight….This is the best ending of a Christmas-day — to wash anew in the cleansing fountain. Believer, come to this sacrifice continually; if it be so good to-night, it is good every night. To live at the altar is the privilege of the royal priesthood.”
