  • Day 1 - Gentle and Lowly in Heart

    Day 1 - Gentle and Lowly in Heart
    Mar 31 2020
    The posture most natural to Jesus is not a pointed finger but open arms. "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” —Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

  • Day 2 - The Touch of Compassion

    Day 2 - The Touch of Compassion
    Apr 1 2020
    What was Jesus's first impulse when he saw unclean sinners? He touched them . . . and the sinner became clean. "And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." —Matthew 9:35–36 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

    Day 3 - For the Joy Set before Him
    Apr 2 2020
    Jesus joyfully endured the horror of death in order to provide a limitless supply of mercy and grace to his people. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." —Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

    Day 4 - Draw Near
    Apr 3 2020
    Our pain never outstrips what Jesus himself has endured. He understands our suffering. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." —Hebrews 4:15–16 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

  • Day 5 - Beset with Weakness

    Day 5 - Beset with Weakness
    Apr 4 2020
    The deeper into weakness, suffering, and testing we go, the deeper Christ's solidarity with us. "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness." —Hebrews 4:16–5:2 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

    Day 6 - Never Cast Out
    Apr 5 2020
    The atoning work of the Son—decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit—ensures that we are safe eternally. "Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.'" —John 6:35–37 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

    Day 7 - Grace Reigns
    Apr 6 2020
    The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us. "Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." —Romans 5:20–21 (ESV) Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.
