Spurgeon was a master illustrator. You can use this illustration in your own preaching to describe grace.
Suppose I was in a burning building, and a man brought to the house a fire escape of a very unusual shape, but one that he assured me had been the means of saving thousands of lives.
Do you think that I should object to trusting myself to it because it was such a peculiar shape? Of course, I should not be so foolish.
Then why are sinners so foolish as to object to the shape of the fire escape that God has designed to rescue them from everlasting burnings? What could be better than the divine plan of substitution?
