This sermon warns that many people treat Jesus and the gospel as unimportant because they are too busy, proud, careless, or distracted by the world. Making light of Christ means ignoring God’s invitation to salvation and valuing work, money, or comfort more than eternal life. The message urges people to take Christ seriously now, because rejecting Him leads to great loss, while trusting Him brings forgiveness, hope, and salvation.

A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on August 17, 1856.
