[The contemplation of the glory of Christ] will lift the minds and hearts of believers above all the troubles of this life, and is the sovereign antidote that will expel all the poison that is in them; which otherwise might perplex and enslave their souls. (Owen, John. "The Glory of Christ." Glasgow: Christian Heritage. 2004. p31)
As I read Owen, I am consisently amazed at:
- The centrality of the glory of Christ
- The grace that we receive through contemplating that glory
- How sin is crushed through this contemplation, and
- How essential such contemplation is in preparing to die well.
How much our age of the church needs to hear his powerful and pastoral message.
