A Heavenly Conference
Richard Sibbes's exposition of the risen Christ's meeting with Mary Magdalene in John 20. From the few words exchanged, Sibbes draws out the believer's intimate union with Christ and the deep comfort that Christ's God and Father is ours too. Tender and pastoral throughout.
Based on A Heavenly Conference Between Christ and Mary After His Resurrection (1654), by Richard Sibbes
From the book
In Richard Sibbes's own words
“Seeking of Christ is the soul's duty; but Christ manifesting himself is the soul's comfort.”
“Many times Christ hath his face towards us, when we have our backs upon him; and therefore if thou wouldst find Christ, turn thyself to him.”
