Looking to understand the heart of Jesus? Then you need to read this wonderful book titled, Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. After reading this book, I have found new ways to appreciate who Jesus is and His unending mercy and grace towards sinners and sufferers.

Dane Ortlund uses scripture and insights from the Puritans to show us how deeply loved we are by a compassionate Savior. Here’s a small passage from page 31, ”And what did he do when he saw the unclean? What was his first impulse when he came across prostitutes and lepers? He moved toward them. Pity flooded his heart, the longing of true compassion. He spent time with them. He touched them. We can all testify to the humaneness of touch. A warm hug does something warm words of greeting alone cannot. But there is something deeper in Christ’s touch of compassion. He was reversing the Jewish system. When Jesus, the Clean One, touched an unclean sinner, Christ did not become unclean. The sinner became clean.”

We used this book at our church for a Wednesday night study and it was amazing. If you are suffering or feeling the weight of your sins, this book will lift you up and change your relationship with Jesus! It’s that good.

God Bless!
