Gentle and Lowly

Christ’s Heart for You

It’s easy to become discouraged, frustrated, and cynical with ourselves as we suffer and struggle. We trust that God loves us, but is he disappointed or frustrated with us? The gospel tells us not just what Christ has done—it reveals how deeply he cares for us in our struggle with sin.

Dane Ortlund, author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers says:

The gospel offers us not only legal exoneration—inviolably precious truth!—it also sweeps us into Christ’s very heart. You might know that Christ died and rose again on your behalf to rinse you clean of all your sin; but do you know his deepest heart for you? Do you live with an awareness not only of his atoning work for your sinfulness but also of his longing heart amid your sinfulness?

A 14-Day Devotional
