All that may be known of God for our salvation, especially his widsom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through Christ. No wonder then that Christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!...
But I ask those whose minds are better attuned to heavenly things, Why do you love Jesus Christ? Why do you trust in him? Why do you honor him? Why do you desire to be in heaven with him? Can you say why? If one of your reasons is that in him you behold by faith the glory of God which otherwise would have been eternally hidden from you, especially the glory of his love in sending Christ to atone for your sins, then he is indeed precious to you.
John Owen, The Glory of Christ
