Christ Our All: Gaze at Him

Does your seeming lack of Christian growth get you down? You’re not what you should be, not what you want to be?

Of course, you long to love Jesus more, and enjoy the spiritual warmth and vibrancy you once had. But maybe that was then, and now you’ve just got to put up with how things are.

The good news is that there is a genuine cure, however cold, dull, hypocritical—and discouraged—you may be feeling right now. You are not alone—far from it—nor do you need to put up with how things are a moment longer.

So, where do you go?

To Christ. He himself is the fountain that we need to refresh ourselves in as Christians. Constantly, we need to behold and gaze at him, because constantly we are prone to distraction, discouragement and a coldness in our love for him.

In Christ Our All, the author lifts our eyes off ourselves and onto the Saviour: radiant, sufficient, and overflowing with grace. Allow this 14-day devotional to set Christ before you so that you gaze upon him, and in doing so, become like him. For when you see him for who he is and grasp his heart towards you, nothing in all the world can compare.

“Here is a delicious tonic for all in need of refreshment. In a few short meditations, Chance Faulkner has packed a weight of glory that is living water for all who thirst and healing balm for all who ache. Reading this will take little commitment but yield much joy.”

Michael Reeves,

“These are pages for the weary and the distracted. They are for those who have almost given up. In Christ Our All, Chance Faulkner does not hand us techniques or formulae. He holds up the living Christ, our Prophet, Shepherd, Brother, and Reward, and he bids us look to him. This is clear, faithful writing that slows the hurried heart and lifts it towards the radiant One, the visible image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15).

Meditate on these truths and let them lead you to rest in him.”

Chris Larson,
President & CEO, Ligonier Ministries

“A beautiful series of reflections on the surprising glories of our wondrous Master and how endlessly he cares for his own.

Thank you, Chance Faulkner, for helping us all to see and celebrate this gorgeous Saviour!”

Dane Ortlund,
an elder at Naperville Presbyterian Church and the author of Gentle and Lowly

“The Scriptures have been likened to a body of water: they are deep enough for an elephant to swim in, to her heart’s content, and never touch bottom, but shallow enough for a little lamb to come and stand in and quench his thirst. Even so it is with our Lord Jesus: there are riches in his person that will take an eternity to display and unfold, and so more than satisfy the intellectual interest of scholars, but his life and ministry and teaching and death also bespeak a simplicity that a little child can grasp. These small meditations are at once both simple and deep, and thus an excellent medium for all Christians to employ in getting to know their Saviour better.”

Michael A.G. Azad Haykin,
Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality,
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Of the writing of books about Christ there is no end. And yet, fresh meditations on the splendour and majesty of Jesus are a welcome balm to the soul. In this humble devotional offering, Chance Faulkner puts the Lord Jesus on display and stands in awe at the sight. This little book accomplishes big things: it presents Scripture truths that can be turned over in the mind and relished in the heart. This work will serve God’s people well.”
