Then do we find food for our souls in the Word of truth, then do we taste how gracious the Lord is therein, then is the Scripture full of refreshment to us, as a spring of living water, when we are taken into blessed views of the glory of Christ therein. And we are in the best frame of duty when the principal motive in our mind to contend earnestly for retaining the possession of the Scripture, against all that would deprive us of it, or discourage us from a daily diligent search into it, is this: that they would take from us the only glass wherein we may behold the glory of Christ. This is the glory of the Scripture, that it is the great, yea, the only outward, means of representing to us the glory of Christ; and He is the Sun in the firmament of it, which only hath Light in Itself, and communicates it unto all other things besides.—Owen.
