Puritan pastor and theologian Richard Sibbes, whose nickname we have borrowed for our weblog (click on the left-hand column for the reason why), was a master physician of the soul. Here is a link to an article that first appeared in The Banner of Truth magazine in 1988, analyzing Sibbes’ main line of thought in his best-loved work The Bruised Reed. The Banner of Truth Trust has reprinted the work, and it is available in paperback at goodtheology.com.
Sibbes writes of our Lord Jesus Christ,
He is a prophet wise enough, and a priest full enough to make us acceptable of God. If we want any grace, he is a king able enough, rich enough, and strong enough to subdue all our rebellions in us, and he will in time by his Spirit overcome all.
