The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth

Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680)

Thomas Goodwin meditates on a single tender question: how the exalted Christ in heaven now feels toward struggling, sinning believers on earth. Working through passages in John and Hebrews, he shows that Christ's affection for his people is, if anything, drawn out all the more by their weakness and grief. The book has comforted readers for centuries as one of the warmest treatments of Christ's sympathy in Puritan literature.
