The Branch of the Lord, the Beauty of Zion

by John Owen

A 1650 sermon preached before the Council of State, expounding the glory and beauty of Christ's church under gospel ordinances. Owen unfolds Isaiah 4:2 ('the Branch of the Lord shall be beautiful and glorious') as fulfilled in Christ and applied to the visible church, encouraging political magistrates to support gospel ordinances and challenging believers to recognize Christ's beauty in his ordained means of grace.

*Psalm 48:12, 13, 14.* Walk about Sion, and go round about her: tell the Towers thereof. Mark you well her Bulwarks consider her Palaces, that you may tell it to the Generation following. For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our Guide to death.
