Gentle and Lowly
“Many Christians who know the gospel nonetheless struggle to experience and enjoy the Christ of the gospel. Perhaps that’s in part because they’re not at all sure HE enjoys THEM. They live with the sense that Christ is often slightly fed up with them; that they’re just a few sins away from exhausting his patience; that he’s more grumpy than glad when he thinks of them; that even if he’s willing to forgive, he does so reluctantly and reproachfully...but Christ rejoices to love his people even more than they rejoice to receive his love.”
Here's how one Christian leader described the effect of Dane Ortlund’s book Gentle and Lowly. It’s an easy read and Orlund doesn’t compromise good biblical interpretation nor overwhelm the reader with it. You get just enough to be certain that what is written is well founded in scripture.
If you’ve been with us over the last 8 weeks, you know that our sermons have harmonized with the insights Ortlund offers in his book.
If you enjoyed the sermon and want to read more about the love of Christ for you (perhaps even hear it said better!), perhaps you might pick up the book. We looked at about 8 of the 23 chapters.
