Thank God—Sunday is almost here again! Here is the great John Owen, from Banner of Truth’s edition of his “The Glory of Christ” book. . . .
“With such clear ideas of the love of Christ, and by worship, you may walk in the paradise of God and enjoy the sweet perfume of His mediatorial love (Song of Sol. 2:2-4).“Finally, do not be content to have right ideas of the love of Christ in your mind unless you have a gracious taste of it in your heart. You may taste that the Lord is gracious, that is, you may experience for yourself His grace in your heart. If you do not actually experience the love of Christ in your heart, you will not retain the idea of it in your mind.
“Christ is the meat, the bread, the food provided by God for your soul. And there is no higher spiritual nourishment in Christ than His mediatory love, and this you should always desire. In His love, Christ is glorious. No creatures, angels or men, could have the least idea of it before it was revealed by Christ. And after it was seen in this world, it is still absolutely incomprehensible."
