Bless God—it is almost Sunday! Here is Thomas Watson, from his great work, "The Art of Divine Contentment.” . . .
"What it is then to learn Christ?"To learn Christ is to be made like Christ, to have the divine characteristics of His holiness engraven upon our hearts: 'We all with open face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image,' (2 Cor. 3:18). There is a metamorphosis made; a sinner, viewing Christ's image in the mirror of the gospel, is transformed into that image. Never did any man look upon Christ with a spiritual eye, but he went away quite changed.
"A true saint is a divine landscape picture, where all the rare beauties of Christ are lively portrayed and drawn forth. He has the same spirit, the same judgment, the same will, with Jesus Christ."
