Description

How will you keep going if you have nothing to look forward to?

Our path in life is challenging, enclosed in darkness, and often seems hopeless. Thomas Manton experienced this, yet he also knew that God gently motivates His children along the way by giving them something to look forward to. Accordingly, A Blessed Hope reminds us that the Christian life is sustained by “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13). Would you like to better understand what Christian hope is, recognize how it sanctifies us, and learn to maintain it? Then read this book and discover with Manton the pleasant power of expecting the return of Christ and His heavenly reward.

Endorsements

Like so many of his Puritan peers, Thomas Manton possessed a remarkable ability to extract a great deal of exegetical insight from a passage of Scripture. As a preacher, he focused on applying the truth of Scripture to the heart and affections of his hearers. Perhaps no truth brings greater comfort to the soul of the Christian than that of our blessed hope in Christ Jesus. To that end, this book will edify and encourage all who read!
—Jimmy Funchess, senior pastor of Flint Groves Baptist Church, Gastonia, North Carolina

Where is true and lasting hope to be found? In this book, Thomas Manton encourages readers to look to the‘blessed hope’ that is promised in Scripture, anchored in the gospel, and realized at Christ’s return (Titus 2:11–14). This hope is ‘blessed’ because it leads to the ‘experience of absolute blessedness’ in heaven. Believers will find Manton’s counsel to be a clear and practical resource for knowing and experiencing abiding hope.
—Keith Palmer, senior associate pastor at Grace Bible Church, Granbury, Texas; director of the doctor of ministry in biblical counseling at the Master’s University

Life for the Christian doesn’t always go well, but it ends well. Our confidence that we will see Christ in all His glory when He returns provides ballast for our soul that keeps us afloat and serves as an anchor that holds us fast amid life’s storms. Thomas Manton’s exposition of Titus 2:11–14 is like a gemologist’s magnifying glass allowing us to take in the multifaceted beauty of our ‘blessed hope’ from every conceivable angle.
—Ken Ramey, pastor-teacher of Lakeside Bible Church, Montgomery, Texas; author of Expository Listening: A Handbook for Hearing and Doing God’s Word
