Jesus Himself

Also online · free to read

Andrew Murray turns his attention here to the person of Jesus Christ rather than to a single episode in his story. Across short, reflective chapters he considers Christ as the mediator who stands between God and people, and as the living source from which believers draw their daily strength. He reflects on how the Savior was wholly divine and wholly human, and on the close fellowship he kept with the Father. The book's guiding thought is that the presence of Jesus within the believer, rather than rules or effort alone, makes possible a life of holiness.
