Jesus, Gentle and Lowly

[00:00:02]Hi, this is Justin.

[00:00:04]Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about Jesus, and in particular, we're going to be talking about the posture of Jesus toward his own.

[00:00:11]In Matthew 11, Jesus invites the weary to come to him and says that he is gentle and lowly in heart.

[00:00:18]But is that how you have thought about Jesus?

[00:00:20]Is that how you've heard him presented?

[00:00:22]Or have you heard Jesus presented as something that is frightening, scary, unsafe, that he is just waiting to drop the hammer on you and is exacting toward his own.

[00:00:33]If you have, this podcast is for you today.

[00:00:36]We're going to consider the love, the patience, the mercy of Jesus in both the regular and the members' episodes.

[00:00:42]We hope this is encouraging for you.

[00:00:44]Stay tuned.

[00:01:11]Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ.

[00:01:16]Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

[00:01:20]Our hosts today are John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and myself, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

[00:01:31]John, we have met on an unusual day of the week on a Tuesday morning this time, which is kind of our Monday, to record a podcast.

[00:01:41]It's raining outside, so it's a rainy Monday in my world.

[00:01:46]And I'm feeling that way.
