Exalting Jesus in Proverbs (Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary | CCE)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this new commentary series, projected to be 48 volumes, takes a Christ- centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible.
Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition.
Projected contributors to the series include notable authors such as Russell D. Moore, Al Mohler, Matt Chandler, Francis Chan, Mark Dever, and others.
- Seeks to display exegetical accuracy
- Offers helpful illustrations and theologically-driven applications
- Provides a commentary that busy pastors can use for weekly preparation of biblically faithful and gospel-saturated sermons
Top Highlights
“The proverbs proper are the sentences of wisdom found in the book. Primarily what we think of when we think of ‘proverbs’ are the short, pithy sayings contained in chapters 10–31. Proverbs 1–9 sets those up and shows us how to interpret them.” (Proverbs 1:1–6)
“Wisdom is the ability to read a situation and make the right decision.” (Proverbs 1:4)
“The everyday decisions that we make are to be done in fear of the Lord, and the everyday decisions we make reveal whether or not we fear the Lord. God is concerned with your whole life. The everyday decisions we make are indicators of whether we fear him or not. How you eat dinner, how you finish tasks assigned to you, how you spend money, how you parent your kids, and how you respond to your parents are all before the Lord. Every nook and cranny of your life is to be governed by God.” (Proverbs 1:7)
“Ultimately, wisdom is not a set of ideas; wisdom is a person—Jesus Christ” (Proverbs 1:20–33)
“This word correction or discipline entails a discipleship-type relationship where you can be warned about going in the wrong direction, rebuked when needed, corrected to go in a different way or to think differently, and punished if you do not listen. Do you have any relationship in your life right now where someone can correct you?” (Proverbs 1:2)
