Though Christians are aware of God's love for them, they often believe that he is always irritated and disappointed with them—possibly to the point of giving up entirely. Because of this, they give a lot of attention to what Jesus accomplished to allay God's anger over sin. But despite all of their transgressions and shortcomings, what does Jesus Christ really think of his people? In Matthew 11, Jesus identifies himself as "gentle and lowly in heart," desiring that his people find peace in him. This book takes us to that passage. The central theme of the gospel is God's gentle love for the sinful and suffering, and how this love is pulled towards his people. These chapters delve deeply into Bible passages that speak of Christ's identity and encourage readers with Christ's passions for his people, taking them into the depths of Christ's own heart for sinners. Readers can find solace and support in his yearning heart for sinners throughout their ups and downs.
