Jesus Christ the Believer's Comfort and Joy: A Practical Look at the Person and Work of Our Lord

“How does a true knowledge of Christ benefit believers? And in how many ways can we profit from it?”— Pierre Viret Within the pages of this book, Swiss Reformer Pierre Viret (1511-1571) delves into the divine wonders of the Person and work of Jesus Christ, including his deity and His divine and human natures. Christ’s work of atonement is beautifully considered in all its aspects, and His ascent into glory and His future coming are also dealt with in careful detail. As Viret brilliantly explains, however, a knowledge of Christ is incomplete without an understanding of how His Person and work benefit a believer. What comforts and joys should Christians derive from a true knowledge of their Savior? And how should a proper understanding of Christ change a believer’s day-to-day life? From the tenderness and insight of a pastor’s heart, Viret invites his readers to taste the goodness of the Lord and to meditate anew upon His wondrous nature—to the glory of God and the untold blessings of those who seek Him.
