Consider Jesus

by Octavius Winslow

This is a book comprised of thirty short chapters which focus the reader on various aspects of the person and work of Christ. Each chapter serves as a meditation on a particular facet of Christ‘s life. Examples of some chapter titles include: Consider Jesus—in Lowliness of Birth; Consider Jesus—the Object of Popular Hate; Consider Jesus—Without Deceit; Consider Jesus—as Receiving Sinners; and Consider Jesus—in His Atoning Blood. As typical of Winslow‘s writings, he demonstrates how each truth concerning Jesus matters for the life of the believer.

Octavius Winslow was one of the foremost evangelical preachers of the 19th Century. A Baptist minister for most of his life, and in his last decade seceded to the Anglican church. His Christ-centered writings show devotion, practicality, and excellence. This is a rich devotional that encourages love, reverence, and praise to Christ.

Winslow achieved his purpose for the readers of this book: "Consider Jesus!" Every meditation will help the reader focus on Jesus' glory, humility, grace, prayer life, sacrifice, and supremacy. If you are seeing yourself focusing on things other than Jesus, grab this book and use for your daily meditation for a month.

This is now my favorite devotional ever, and I was delighted to discover that he wrote a few more daily devotionals like this one and one year long one.

A great thought-provoking little book of 31 meditations on the Person and character of Christ, from a 19th-century British preacher.
