Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ
by John Owen
Summary
Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ is
a
collection of discourses in which John Owen proclaims the glory of the
Lord as it is revealed in Scripture. Owen states that because we are
human, Christ's glory is, in a sense, incomprehensible to us--we can
never fully grasp it. Fortunately, the Bible provides us with ample
information to help us appreciate the glory of Christ and to guide us in
our worship. Owen uses these discourses to expound upon the different
types of glory that Christ exhibits: the glory of His love, the glory of
His mystery, His glory as mediator, His glory in the church, and the
glory of His eternal being. It is through Christ that our lowly nature
is sanctified and our relationship with God is ultimately secured. Owen
teaches Christians that nothing they do has any meaning outside of that
which Christ anoints with His glory.
