Isaac Ambrose’s Looking Unto Jesus, Book II: The Alpha and the Omega is a profound exploration of the eternal role of Christ in the salvation of humanity. This rich theological work, first published in 1680, guides readers through a meticulous study of Jesus as the Alpha and Omega—the beginning and the end—emphasising His work in the eternal decrees of God and the outworking of redemption.
Ambrose masterfully intertwines scriptural exposition with devotional application, calling believers to fix their gaze on Christ through every stage of His eternal and redemptive work. With chapters such as "The Eternal Generation of Our Jesus" and "Of Our Election in Christ Before All Worlds," he explores the deep mysteries of God’s eternal purpose, the covenant between the Father and the Son, and the implications for those who are united to Christ.
The book also provides practical encouragement for Christians, urging them to respond with faith, love, joy, and conformity to Jesus. Ambrose’s approach blends doctrinal depth with heartfelt devotion, making this work a treasure for those seeking to grow in their knowledge of Christ and live more fully for His glory.
The Alpha and the Omega is a must-read for those who love the richness of Puritan theology and long to deepen their understanding of the everlasting Gospel. Its timeless truths are presented with pastoral care, urging every reader to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. This book not only informs the mind but also stirs the heart to worship the Saviour who was, and is, and is to come.
