Jeremiah Burroughs reminds us that Christ is not only necessary — He is enough. Every desire of the heart finds its answer in Him. He is wisdom, righteousness, peace, redemption, and joy for His people. When Christ is our portion, we lack nothing that truly matters. This episode calls us to let go of substitutes and rest in the fullness of Jesus.

The Beauty of Christ’s Obedience
In this episode, we reflect on Thomas Watson’s teaching that the righteousness which justifies believers is Christ’s perfect obedience. Jesus not only died for us — He lived for us. Every holy thought, word, and deed of His life now stands in place of ours. This truth frees us from the anxiety of self-righteousness and fuels a new life of grateful obedience.

The Compassion of Christ
Drawing from John Bunyan’s "Come and Welcome to Jesus Christ," this episode celebrates the kindness of Christ toward burdened sinners. He does not wait for worthiness — He welcomes willingness. His compassion is not momentary but constant, and He delights to receive those who feel most unworthy. Shame pushes us away from Jesus; compassion is what draws us back home.

The Glory of Christ
In this episode, we meditate on John Owen’s "The Glory of Christ" and the believer’s highest privilege: beholding Christ by faith. His beauty shines in His incarnation, obedience, death, resurrection, and exaltation. Nothing changes the soul more than fixing our gaze on the person of Jesus. The more we delight in His glory now, the more our hearts are prepared for the day we will see Him without veil.

The Brightness of Holiness
This episode reflects on Thomas Adams’s preaching and the radiant beauty of holiness. Holiness is not a burden but liberty — the restoration of God’s image in His people. It frees us from the bondage of sin and enables us to shine with the light of Christ in a dark world. Heaven delights in holiness, and the world most needs Christians who glow with the grace of God.
