About this book

Delight in the beauty of Christ afresh this Easter

Some of the richest prophecies about the cross of Christ can be found in Isaiah chapters 52 and 53 (the last of the 'Servant Songs'). Take time to go through these familiar yet extraordinary chapters in the run up to Easter with this Lent devotional by Tim Chester. You will be thrilled and challenged as you see how Jesus matched every part of every prophecy, and brought glory to his name through his beautiful sacrifice on the cross.

Contains 47 days of short, stirring reflections as well as a link to an original song, See Jesus Stripped of Majesty.

Endorsements

Here is a book to treasure and to share. Tim leads us on a journey through some of the Bible’s most precious chapters, for a rediscovery of the Christ who has walked our road, and who goes with us still. The Beauty of the Cross will be a rich blessing to you.

Lewis Allen Senior Pastor, Hope Church, Huddersfield, UK, and Director of Gospel Yorkshire

This is a book to savour! Tim Chester has done an exquisite job in walking us gently through the richness of Isaiah’s vision of Jesus Christ, the Servant of the Lord, as he walks to (and through) his death in our place. Beautifully paced, theologically rich and deeply rooted in the real world—take it, read it slowly, and drink in its Christ-saturated truth!

Gary Millar Principal, Queensland Theological College, Australia; author of Saving Eutychus

This compelling reflection on Isaiah’s extraordinary portrait of the Servant has a simplicity and directness which will provoke surprise, gratitude and worship. Pastoral and devotional in tone, it illuminates these remarkable chapters through thought-provoking illustration and application which will warm the heart, strengthen faith, and encourage mission. A wonderful resource for spiritual renewal!

Jonathan Lamb Director, Langham Preaching, Langham Partnership International

Tim brings readers right into the right light of Lent. Christ the Lord. Like the old hymn, Chester’s meditations and expositions from Isaiah invite you to turn your eyes upon Jesus, to look fully at the face of the suffering servant, and see how the things of earth grow dim in the divine wattage of Christ’s glory and grace.

J.A. Medders Author and pastor

The Beauty of the Cross is a wonderful resource for meaningful reflection on our Lord’s finished work at Calvary. Tim Chester does a fine job of focusing on rich texts in Isaiah 52-53 and then leads the reader to pray, meditate and praise our Great God for his perfect plan of redemption. Poignant quotes from church fathers and others as well as personal illustrations are value-added to this well-organized devotional. It’s a treasure! The Beauty of the Cross will be a great addition to any believer’s library.

Mary Mohler Author, Growing in Gratitude

The cross of Jesus is the centre of the Christian faith. None of us thrive when we drift far from the foot of the cross. It is there that we discover that God is not like the world thinks he is, that our only hope does not lie in ourselves, and that the hideous instrument of torture, the cross, is actually profoundly beautiful. Tim Chester’s book, "The Beauty of the Cross", will be a great companion and guide as you meditate on the cross of Jesus.

Peter Mead Director of Cor Deo; Author of “Lost in Wonder”

5.00 stars Treasure Concealed, Revealed

 

Never having been an observer of Lent, my prejudice against the very tradition almost denied me the privilege and great benefit of owning a copy of this beautiful book. Utterly faithful to Scripture, Spirit breathed and beyond price.
Thank you 🙏

5.00 stars Thought Provoking

 

This is the third year I have read through this little book of Lent devotions in addition to my normal ‘explore’ notes; and each time it has given me cause to reflect, wonder and be amazed at the meaning of the cross. A thought proving book taking you through 40 days of short meaningful reflections that point to Jesus and His amazing sacrifice for us.

5.00 stars Excellent way to focus on Jesus through lent

 

Another excellent devotional from Tim Chester focussing our eyes on Jesus throughout lent.
