“The glory that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the real actual possession of in heaven
can be no otherwise seen or apprehended in this world, but in the light of faith
fixing itself on divine revelation. To behold this glory of Christ is not an act
of fancy or imagination. It doth not consist in framing unto ourselves the shape
of a glorious person in heaven. But the steady exercise of faith on the revelation
and description made of this glory of Christ in the Scripture, is the ground, rule,
and measure, of all divine meditations thereon.”
