The Bruised Reed walks Christians through Christ’s consistent and unconditional love for His children. Richard Sibbes elaborates on the metaphor of a humble reed that may be bent or bruised as a result of life’s errors and the consequences of sin. Rather than leaning on arrogance to hide these blemishes, looking to Christ to heal them will not only make the reed more beautiful than before, but will also strengthen the relationship with the mender Himself. Sibbes paints a beautiful picture of a loving and sincere Father who has laid out the path to righteousness and waits with helping hands for those who choose to follow it. This work is a sweet encouragement for all Christians, especially those who have felt bruised or broken along the way.
