Christ Humbled Yet Exalted
Description
The Christian's joy is secured by Jesus Christ's humiliation and exaltation.
This modernized classic by John Flavel reveals how Christ's humiliation-- His birth, ministry, and death-- and exaltation-- His resurrection, ascension, intercession, and return in judgment-- have secured our hope. With classic Puritan devotion, Flavel reminds us that Christ has removed our debt and secured our inheritance.
This treatment of the Mediator in His humiliation and exaltation is extracted and abridged from Flavel's classic The Fountain of Life.
