“The fulness of Jesus is not changed, then why are our works so feeblly? Pentecost, is that to be a tradition? The reforming days, are these to be memories only? I see no reason why we should not have a greater Pentecost than Peter saw, and a Reformation deeper in its foundations, and truer in its upbuildings than all the reforms which Luther or Calvin achieved”

– Charles H. Spurgeon in Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, vol. 60, 198. , quoted in Iain H. Murray’s The Puritan Hope
