A Heavenly Conference Between Christ and Mary

A Heavenly Conference is Richard SibbesÆ exposition of the memorable meeting
that took place on the first Easter Sunday when the risen Christ met Mary
Magdalene at the empty tomb. Though only a few words were exchanged between the
Lord and Mary, Sibbes saw in them the gospel in a nutshell.
A Heavenly Conference is a wonderfully original treatment of the doctrine of
the believerÆs union with Christ. It is written by a loving and tender-hearted
pastor whose main aim is to help believers enjoy the comfort that comes from
knowing that JesusÆ God and Father is our God and Father too. æFor from this,
that God is our God, cometh all that we have that is good in nature and grace.
Whatsoever is comfortable cometh from this spring, that God in Christ is our
God, our reconciled God.Æ
Without such assurance, we simply cannot live Christian lives as God would have
us. God would have us thankful, cheerful, rejoicing, and strong in faith: but
we will be none of these things unless we are sure that God and Christ are ours
for good. Here, then, are pastorally vital truths that Sibbes seeks to work
into us.
Christians today need not only the truth and comfort Sibbes offers here; " they need his heartfelt delight so that they live for no other end than the
very glory of God. - Michael Reeves"
