“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:”

Phil. 2:6-9

Philpot, J.C. – Meditations on the Sacred Humanity of the Blessed Redeemer  Buy  (d. 1869)  137 pp.

“Of all J.C. Philpot’s published works, we feel these precious meditations on the Redeemer’s sacred humanity are the sweetest.  Very beautifully is the doctrine of Christ’s Person opened up and His work and offices displayed…  The constant emphasis is the blessed suitability of the Man Christ Jesus to a needy soul…  Here is doctrine, deep and blessed doctrine–more so than in Philpot’s sermons…  The receiving into the soul by faith of the doctrine of the Redeemer’s Person and finished work will enable us to understand what Luther meant when he said, ‘Doctrine is heaven.'” – The Editor’s Preface
