Surprised by Jesus

The Gospels are central to the Christian faith, each one revealing Jesus’ character. In Surprised by Jesus, Dane Ortlund walks through the four Gospels and the different ways Christ surprised others through His subversive grace. Ortlund helps us see that the “good news” is defiant and scandalous, but it’s something Jesus won with His blood.
