The Glory of Christ in his Person Office and Grace

One of Owen's final works, written as he neared death, these meditations center on Christ's prayer in John 17:24 — that believers would behold his glory. Owen unfolds the glory of Christ's person (the hypostatic union), his mediatory office (condescension, love, obedience, and exaltation), his Old Testament representations, and his intimate union with the Church. The closing chapters contrast beholding Christ by faith in this world with the fullness of sight in heaven, calling believers to a transforming, daily contemplation of Christ that prepares the soul for eternal glory.
