“In Christ God offers all happiness in place of our misery, all wealth in place 
of our neediness; in Christ God opens to us the heavenly treasures that our whole
faith may contemplate His beloved Son, that our whole expectation may depend upon
Him, and that our whole hope may cleave to and rest in Him. This, indeed, is that
secret and hidden philosophy which cannot be wrested from syllogisms. But they whose
eyes God has opened surely learn it by heart, that in His light they may see light.”

–John Calvin, _Institutes of the Christian Religion_, ed. John T. McNeill; trans.

John Knox, 1960), 3.20.1.
