Summary

"That Gospel Sermon on the Blessed Hope" by Dwight Lyman Moody is a transcription of an inspiring evangelical sermon. Delivered at the Great Chicago Tabernacle in 1877, it centers on the glorious Christian belief in the Second Coming of Christ. Moody's work serves to strengthen believers' faith and renew their spirits by underscoring the New Testament's assertions that Christ’s return is not only promised but imminent. He passionately advises his audience to be always alert and ready, for Christ will return unexpectedly, like a thief in the night, and highlights the profound joy and purpose that come from living in anticipation of this momentous occasion. By referencing scripture, Moody convinces listeners of this hope, urging them to share their faith and live righteously as they await the return of Christ.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody, also known as D. L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher connected with Keswickianism, who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, Moody Bible Institute, and Moody Publishers. One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible... Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism, working first in the Civil War with Union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian Commission. In Chicago, he built one of the major evangelical centers in the nation, which is still active. Working with singer Ira Sankey, he toured the country and the British Isles, drawing large crowds with a dynamic speaking style.
