The Heart of Christ
A tender exposition, drawing chiefly on Hebrews 4:15, arguing that Christ enthroned in glory is not distant or hardened toward his people but moved with deeper affection than ever toward sinners in their weakness. Goodwin presses the comfort that believers' very infirmities draw out Christ's compassion rather than his disdain.
Based on The Heart of Christ in Heaven Towards Sinners on Earth (1651), by Thomas Goodwin
From the book
In Thomas Goodwin's own words
“His heart stands affected towards us, under all sorts of infirmities whatsoever, either of sin or misery.”
