Introducing the Gentle and Lowly Podcast with Dane Ortlund

The posture most natural to Jesus is not a pointed finger but open arms."Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” —Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 1 - Gentle and Lowly in Heart

What was Jesus's first impulse when he saw unclean sinners? He touched them . . . and the sinner became clean."And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." —Matthew 9:35–36 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 2 - The Touch of Compassion

Jesus joyfully endured the horror of death in order to provide a limitless supply of mercy and grace to his people."Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." —Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 3 - For the Joy Set before Him

Our pain never outstrips what Jesus himself has endured. He understands our suffering."For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." —Hebrews 4:15–16 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 4 - Draw Near

The deeper into weakness, suffering, and testing we go, the deeper Christ's solidarity with us."Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Day 5 - Beset with Weakness

The atoning work of the Son—decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit—ensures that we are safe eternally."Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.

Day 6 - Never Cast Out

The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us."Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." —Romans 5:20–21 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 7 - Grace Reigns

Christ's saving always outpaces and overwhelms our sinning because he always lives to intercede for us."This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." —Hebrews 7:22–25 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.

Day 8 - Saved to the Uttermost

When we choose to sin—though we forsake our true identity—our Savior does not forsake us but rather stands ready to defend us."If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.

When we come to Christ, we are startled by the beauty of his welcoming heart."Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

We cannot view God's expressions of mercy with our old eyes.

Day 13 - His Ways Are Not Our Ways

What does Jesus do with those who squander his mercy? He pours out more mercy! God is rich in mercy.And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. —Ephesians 2:1–6 (ESV)Dane Ortlund is the author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers.
