7 Love Letters from Jesus: Pursued by His Love, Captured by His Grace
Christians have been told again and again that Jesus loves them,
yet many have not stepped into the security and intimacy that His
love provides. Whether because of poor past relationships or a lack
of good examples, many struggle to find intimacy with their Savior.
Now, Rebecca Hayford Bauer invites readers to step into the best
love story of all.
7 Love Letters from Jesus is an in-depth study of Revelation
2 and 3, a passage of Scripture that paints a metaphorical picture
of courtship, engagement and marriage to the Lamb of God. It's also
a passage that Christians have sometimes misread or
misunderstood--but no longer! Readers will gain a new appreciation
for these vivid images for their spiritual life and begin to see
how Jesus views each and every person: as worthy of His relentless
pursuit.
Top Highlights
“We’re all unfinished products. If we spend our time looking for perfection in anyone outside of Jesus, we will not only be disappointed, but we will also spend our lives chasing a figment of our imagination rather than stepping into partnership.” (source)
“When we talk about Jesus’ love for us, we have to have our own minds transformed to look at love by His definition.” (source)
“These letters also give direction, declare love and look with expectancy toward the marriage supper of the Lamb.” (source)
“Jesus invites us to real life. But it costs. It costs letting go of the fantasy and growing into partnership with Him. It costs confronting the fear in your own life that keeps you from commitment, vulnerability and accountability. It challenges your comfort zone, calls you to growth, drives you to complete dependence on Him, and cultivates in you the character traits that make you as real as He is.” (source)
“Jesus’ warning against being lukewarm is a reminder that passion should never die!” (source)
