In this the second of three volumes on the passion and death of our Lord, C. H. Spurgeon bids us follow Christ into ‘The Judgment Hall’ and to look on as the Man of Sorrows is despised and rejected by men – first, by Annas and Caiaphas, the religious leaders of the Jewish nation, then Herod Antipas, the puppet prince of Galilee, and finally Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor. Spurgeon’s great gifts of passionate and persuasive preaching are clearly in evidence in these fine sermons, which include ‘Christ in Bonds’, ‘The King in Pilate’s Hall’, and ‘Majesty in Misery’.
