Isaac Ambrose's Looking Unto Jesus, The Third Book: From the Creation Until His First Coming is a profound theological work that immerses readers in the redemptive narrative of Scripture, tracing God's covenantal promise of salvation through the ages. This masterpiece explores the progression of God's covenant with humanity, beginning in Eden and culminating in the anticipation of Christ's incarnation.
Ambrose masterfully explores the promises of Christ as they unfold through the lives of Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, and the prophets. He emphasizes that God's covenant of grace is revealed progressively, with increasing clarity as the time of Christ's first coming draws near. Ambrose’s vivid descriptions of Christ's appearances, typological foreshadowing, and promises in the Old Testament invite readers to behold the faithfulness and mercy of God throughout history.
What sets this work apart is Ambrose's deep pastoral sensitivity and his ability to draw readers into personal application. He encourages believers to see Jesus as the centerpiece of Scripture and the foundation of their salvation. Each chapter brims with rich exegesis and practical insights, helping readers understand how God's promises to ancient Israel resonate in their own faith journey.
The book's devotional tone is both challenging and comforting, as it calls readers to a life of holiness, worship, and hope in the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. Ambrose skillfully weaves theological precision with heartfelt pastoral care, making it a treasure for both the scholar and the layperson.
For those who love to marvel at God's providential unfolding of salvation history and long to deepen their knowledge of Christ, From the Creation Until His First Coming is a timeless resource. Its emphasis on covenant theology and the anticipation of Christ will inspire readers to see the Bible as a unified story of redemption, centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ.
