From the Realms of Endless Day

With his characteristic pastoral insight, my dear friend Tom Ascol unveils the Lord Jesus Christ as the center of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—in this simple but profound collection of devotions on the incarnation. Rich in biblical theology and exegesis, this journey from creation to the cradle to the cross will lead you to greater wonder and admiration of the God-man who, though veiled in flesh, has perfectly revealed the Triune God to us and brings full and free salvation to all those who put their trust alone in Him.

The eternal Son of God humbled Himself by taking on frail human flesh—He entered into the world He made—to save us from our sins. Far from being the Triune God’s “Plan B,” this plan was decreed in eternity past. The glorious truth of the incarnation and what it means for us is worthy of our sustained attention, and Tom Ascol demonstrates in his book, From the Realms of Endless Days, how the Old Testament promised and anticipated what God accomplished in the New Testament. Not only is this devotional food for the soul, but Ascol also shows us how to do biblical theology well. He also helps us think and speak about God and the humanity of Christ well. And he does all of this in a way that leads readers into deeper devotion to the Lord. This book will make you worship. Take up and read, and give glory to God for the salvation He has provided in Christ.

Perhaps one of the most important questions one could ever ask is “Why did God become man?” With the skill of a theologian and the heart of a pastor, Tom Ascol answers this question in a series of devotions that even a child can understand. The greatest event in history came to pass when God the Son became man to save us from our sins and to reconcile us to the holy God of heaven and earth. No one who belongs to Him can ever be the same again because He graciously changes His people by His love and His wise kingly authority. I highly commend this little volume for family worship during Christmas or to incorporate in your private devotions. I trust it will be a blessing to you as it was to me.
