CHRIST, THE PERFECT PATTERN FOR THE CHRISTIAN Ralph Robinson (1614-1655) edited by Dr. Don Kistler
Too often we model ourselves after another person rather than after the Lord Jesus Christ. But no one other than Christ ought to be our model, our example, or, as Ralph Robinson points out, our pattern.
Here, in 13 sermons, this Puritan lays out Christ as a pattern for us to follow. He speaks of Christ as, among other things, a pattern of humility, of patience, of prayer, of forgiveness, of diligence, and of faithfulness.
Appendixed is Simeon Ashe’s funeral sermon for Robinson entitled “The Good Man’s Death Lamented.” This is the first printing of this important work since 1658. May it stir up in God’s people a greater desire to be like Christ.
