Day 1 - Gentle and Lowly in Heart
The posture most natural to Jesus is not a pointed finger but open arms.
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” —Matthew 11:28–30 (ESV)

Day 2 - The Touch of Compassion
What was Jesus's first impulse when he saw unclean sinners? He touched them . . . and the sinner became clean.
"And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." —Matthew 9:35–36 (ESV)

Day 3 - For the Joy Set before Him
Jesus joyfully endured the horror of death in order to provide a limitless supply of mercy and grace to his people.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." —Hebrews 12:1–2 (ESV)

Day 4 - Draw Near
Our pain never outstrips what Jesus himself has endured. He understands our suffering.
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." —Hebrews 4:15–16 (ESV)

Day 5 - Beset with Weakness
The deeper into weakness, suffering, and testing we go, the deeper Christ's solidarity with us.
"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness." —Hebrews 4:16–5:2 (ESV)

Day 6 - Never Cast Out
The atoning work of the Son—decreed by the Father and applied by the Spirit—ensures that we are safe eternally.
"Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.'" —John 6:35–37 (ESV)

Customer Reviews
Gentle and Amazing
I read this book in 2021, and it has caused so much joy in my walk with God and with a deeper understanding of Jesus’ heart. It is one of the best books I have read in a while, and has been a constant aid to my study and prayer life for the last year. I have since bought numerous titles from Dane and they are equally as rich and rewarding.
YES
Yes yes yes! Praise God that this is in podcast for for ppl to intake! Gentle and Lowly has helped me see Christ in beautiful transforming ways that I have never seen him before!
Theological Precision
Be encouraged by the good in this book but be very alert to the statements that are not theologically precise and do lead to denying God’s attributes. For example, God’s simplicity and aseity are denied in this book because the author was not careful or theologically precise in his writing.
