We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.
John OwenThe custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.
John OwenThe beauty of the person of Christ, as represented in the Scripture, consists in things invisible unto the eyes of flesh. They are such as no hand of man can represent or shadow. It is the eye of faith alone that can see this King in his beauty. What else can contemplate on the untreated glories of his divine nature? Can the hand of man represent the union of his natures in the same person, wherein he is peculiarly amiable? What eye can discern the mutual communications of the properties of his different natures in the same person?
