The book highlights that Christ's heart for sinners and sufferers is unchanging and eternal. Ortlund uses John 13:1 to illustrate that Jesus loved His own to the end, even through betrayal and forsakenness. This steadfast love is not dependent on our loveliness or worthiness but is an essential part of who Christ is. 'He loved us in our mess then. He’ll love us in our mess now.' This unchanging heart of Christ assures believers that they are eternally secure in His love, regardless of their failures or sins. | Dane C. Ortlund | Gentle and Lowly
