As a result, they focus a lot―and rightly so―on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? 

This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. 

These chapters take us into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.  cBOOK-HChChristian Living6CHRISTIAN_LIVING  c2363d2363  0010406ORT_1651_0000000000000007092348d2023-07-20i1651l2m2oORT1651pORT1651r2024-04-14s2024-03-03w2023-07-20yBOOK-HC
