Looking Unto Jesus

A majestic Puritan classic on contemplating the glory, grace, and person of Jesus Christ. In Looking Unto Jesus, the revered 17th-century Puritan divine Isaac Ambrose presents a magnificent, soul-stirring masterpiece on spiritual contemplation. Grounded in Hebrews 12:2, this monumental devotional work invites believers to turn their eyes away from worldliness and self-reliance to fix their total attention on Christ across every stage of His redemptive mission. Through deep biblical exposition and profound pastoral warmth, Ambrose walks readers chronologically through the work of Christ, providing rich, practical guidance on how to daily consider, desire, hope in, and enjoy Jesus. Readers will explore the divine Savior through nine key dispensations: Christ in Eternity: Contemplating the Son in the eternal counsel and covenant of redemption before time began. Christ in the Promise: Trace the gradual unfolding of messianic prophecy and hope through the Old Testament era. Christ in the Incarnation: Reflecting on the mystery, humility, and wonder of the Word made flesh. Christ in His Life & Death: Meditating on His earthly ministry, obedience, and substitutionary sacrifice on the Cross. Christ in His Resurrection, Ascension & Intercession: Rejoicing in His triumph over the grave, His exaltation, and His present ministry as High Priest in heaven. Christ in His Second Coming: Looking forward with joyful expectation to His final glory and eternal reign. Combining doctrinal depth with an affectionate, devotional heart, Looking Unto Jesus remains one of the most practical and sublime guides to Christian meditation ever written—an indispensable volume for those seeking a more Christ-centered life.
