Glory of Christ
John Owen was born in the year 1616
and
grew up in a quiet Oxfordshire
parsonage, entering Oxford University
at the age of twelve, gaining a B.A. in
1632 and an M.A. in 1635. Owen is one
of the most prominent theologians
England has ever had.
'Meditations on the Glory of Christ was
the last of many books that Owen wrote.
he died as it was being printed in
1683. It was written, he tells us, 'for
the exercise of his own mind when
weakness, weariness and the near
approaches of death' were calling him
away from this earth.
As Owen says: 'A continual view of the
glory of Christ will have the blessed
effect of changing us more and more
into the likeness of Christ. Perhaps
other ways and means have failed to
make us Christ-like. Let us put this
way to the test'.

I pray that these thoughts from the first chapter will stir your heart to read the book:
Jesus Christ prayed for us THAT THEY MAY BEHOLD MY GLORY...
Once having known the love of Christ, the heart of the believer will always be restless until the GLORY OF CHRIST is seen. The climax of all Christ's other requests for his disciples is that they may behold his glory. So I assert that one of the greatest benefits for a believer in this world and the next is to consider THE GLORY OF CHRIST."
"No man will ever see the GLORY OF CHRIST hereafter if he does not have some view of it by faith now"
GOD watches over His Word to perform it! It's 19 years since I first read this little book (I'm 82). God has greatly used the book in my life so that I agree with the author when he says:
1) A true view of THE GLORY OF CHRIST has the power to change us until we become like Christ - 2 Cor 3:18
2) regular meditation on THE GLORY OF CHRIST will give rest and satisfaction to our souls. It will bring peace to our minds which are so often filled with fears and disturbing thoughts. Rom 8:6
3) knowing and enjoying THE GLORY OF CHRIST is the source of everlasting happiness Ps 37:4
By faith we can have some knowledge of Christ and his glory, and that knowledge is better than any aaother form of wisdom or understanding. Php 3:8
If our future happiness means being where Christ is/and seeing HIS GLORY, there is no better preparation for it than to fill our thoughts with that glory now, so that we shall gradually be changed into that glory.
By His glory and for His grace,Jean Guth
