The Heart of Jesus

When Christians struggle with sin, they can easily feel that God is close to giving up on them. But in Matthew 11, Jesus describes himself as "gentle and lowly in heart," longing for believers to find rest in him. The good news of the gospel flows from God's deepest love for his people.
