Thank God—Sunday is almost here again. We get to go back to church, to corporately worship our Triune God. In order to help us get ready, here are some wonderful words from the eminent English (17th century) theologian John Owen. It comes from his amazing “Christologia” book. (It is a long, but glorious, sentence. Try to stay with it[!]) . . .
“The glory, life, and power of Christian religion—as Christian religion, and as seated in the souls of men—with all the acts and duties which properly belong thereunto, and are, therefore, peculiarly Christian; and all the benefits and privileges we receive by it, or by virtue of it—with the whole of the honor and glory that arise unto God thereby—have all of them their formal nature and reason from their respect and relation unto the Person of Christ; nor is he a Christian who is otherwise minded.” [Italics mine]
