Gentle and Lowly

The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

Book • 2020

This book delves into Jesus's description of himself as 'gentle and lowly in heart' from Matthew 11:29, aiming to comfort and strengthen believers by revealing Christ's affections for sinners.

Ortlund uses twenty-three biblical texts and insights from Puritan theologians like Thomas Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, and John Owen to portray Christ's heart.

The book is designed to help Christians overcome their doubts about God's love and to see Jesus as a kind and gracious King who longs to give rest to those who are weary and burdened.
