I always come away from reading Robert Murray McCheyne feeling inspired, so it’s a delight to have his writing distilled in this little book. ‘The Sweet Bond Christian Love’ will stir your soul and renew your zeal for Jesus., McCheyne lived a brief life, but he knew the mighty God of the Bible. Because he knew God, he feared him, even as he communed with him. He was humbled, and he desired, above all, to serve the Savior faithfully. These excerpts point us in the same direction—to the mighty God who communes with his people by his Spirit to the glory of Jesus Christ.
Robert Murray McCheyne (1813 – 1843) has had a tremendous impact not only on the people of his generation but through his writings ever since. He died in his thirtieth year and in the seventh year of ministry while he was the pastor of St Peter’s Free Church. His epitaph describes him as a man who ‘was honoured by his Lord to draw many wanderers out of darkness into the path of life’.
