Praise God—the Lord’s Day is almost here again. We get to go back to church! Here are some great words from England’s finest theologian ever, John Owen. This comes from Banner of Truth’s edition of his, “The Glory of Christ.” . . .
“Only a sight of Christ’s glory, and nothing else, will truly satisfy God’s people. The hearts of believers are like a magnetized needle which cannot rest until it is pointing north. So also, a believer, magnetized by the love of Christ, will al-ways be restless until he or she comes to Christ and beholds His glory. . . .“So it is only as we behold the glory of Christ by faith here in this world that our hearts will be drawn more and more to Christ and to the full enjoyment of the sight of His glory hereafter.
“It is by beholding the glory of Christ by faith that we are spiritually edified and built up in this world, for as we behold His glory, the life and power of faith grow stronger and stronger. It is by faith that we grow to love Christ. . . . "
