As Sanders himself admits, "To conceive and portray a perfect character is beyond the powers of erring man." Yet it is Christ whom Sanders reflects upon in this thorough, readable, and timeless work. Beginning with Christ's birth and concluding with his impending return, Sanders steps through every stage of the life of Christ. Sanders' purpose is clear: "It is my prayer that the Holy Spirit, who delights to reveal the things of Christ to us, will unveil his glory to those who read this book." - Back cover.
Author J. Oswald Sanders, a 20th-century lawyer who became missionary statesman, follows Jesus from His preexistence to His earthly life and second coming. All throughout, he upholds Jesus as the powerful and perfect Savior of the world, silencing against any who would diminish His uniqueness.
A beautiful and thought-provoking tribute to our Great Savior, The Incomparable Christ will leave you with a peace and joy that only comes from tasting and seeing that the Lord is good.
