Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. 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.

    This is not a book to skim read but one to dwell on and enjoy, phrase by phrase, allowing the Holy Spirit to minister to you. Dane has skillfully collected and delivered the wisdom of centuries of Godly saints in a way which is like drinking soothing balm and sparkling water at the same time. I am already re-reading the first chapters before I have finished the last ones! Well done and thank you! Practically speaking, the chapters are short, so you are helped to consume just enough to ponder on and not binge watch the whole series!!
