Christ Our All

In Christ Our All, Chance Faulkner writes a 14-day devotional that focuses your eyes to gaze at Christ. What I loved most was how many beautiful perspectives Faulkner presents.

This book reminded me of the great Puritans of the past, cutting to the heart with pointed questions while also encouraging and building your spirit up with Scripture. Here are three sections that stood out to me:

Friend

I was especially moved to see that being a sinner is not the obstacle to friendship with Christ. Rather, it is the prerequisite—it actually qualifies us to be His friend (Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31–32).

Shepherd

I was also struck by the picture of Christ as our Shepherd—and how far divine love is willing to go—all the way to death. And the power that raised Christ is the same power that secures us.

Portion

When examining Jesus as our portion, I saw myself in Martha when I don’t trust Jesus to get the work done or don’t see Him as enjoyable. But He is my good portion, and I was encouraged to rest in what He has done.

Wonderfully theological and written with reverence and joy, this book is a feast to nourish your faith in Christ. It will open and delight your eyes.
