As a result, they focus a lot\u2014and rightly so\u2014on what Jesus has done to appease God\u2019s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as \u201cgentle and lowly in heart,\u201d longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God\u2019s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These chapters take us into the depths of Christ\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Draws on Writings from the Puritans:<\/strong>&nbsp;Including&nbsp;Thomas&nbsp;Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, John Bunyan, John Owen, and others&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Provides a Unique Perspective:<\/strong>&nbsp;Confronts readers\u2019 typical thoughts on God\u2019s heart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scripture-Based:<\/strong>\u00a0Explores passages throughout the whole Bible to get a full picture of God\u2019s heart for sinners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/static.crossway.org\/excerpts\/media\/6a7e8fadeeb3ee26330d4ff9ccec52641c22354c\/Gentle_and_Lowly_excerpt.pdf\"><em>Read Chapter 1<\/em><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":28826,"template":"","library-category":[48],"class_list":["post-28825","books","type-books","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","library-category-devotionals"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/28825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/books"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"library-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/immanuelfamily.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-category?post=28825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
