We hope this study is beneficial to you in your discipleship and learning pursuits as you seek to apply this wonderful book to your life.

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that He is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about His people amid all their sins and failures?

This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for His people to find rest in Him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for His people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. 

These chapters take us into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with Christ’s affections for His people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives. 

In this Journey module, you will:

  • Dive into ways that Jesus is gentle and lowly 
  • See a rich assurance of our position before the Lord
  • Explore what the ascended Jesus is doing today
  • Dive into the heart of the Father
  • Sit in the eternality of who Jesus is, what He has done, and what He will do
