The Glory of Christ

I’ve been swimming in deep waters with John Owen in The Glory of Christ. Let me share his thoughts on the glory of Jesus in His work as Mediator.

“He was none other than the Son of God made man.

He who was in heaven, above all, Lord of all, lived in the world, having no earthly glory or reputation, obliged to obey the whole law of God perfectly

He to whom prayer was made, prayed himself night and day.

He whom all the angels of heaven and all creatures worshipped, fulfilled all the duties which the worship of God required.

He who was Lord and master of the house became the lowliest servant in the house, performing all menial duties.

He that made all men in whose hand they are all as clay is in the hand of the potter, observed among them the strictest rules of jus-tice, in giving to everyone his due, and out of love giving good things to the undeserving.

This is what makes the obedience of Christ so mysterious and glorious.”

When I think of the Incarnation and just how far Jesus came to save us, I am overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with gratitude and praise. As we approach Christmas…think of the journey he took from the Throne to the womb, from the womb to the tomb, and from the tomb back to the Throne! Worship your King!!
