“The saints’ delight is in Christ.
He is their joy, their crown, their rejoicing, their life, their food, their health, their strength, their desire, their righteousness, their salvation, their blessedness.
Without Him they have nothing; in Him they shall find all things.
‘God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.‘ (Gal. 6:14)
He hath, from the foundation of the world, been the hope, expectation, desire, and delight of all believers.”
–John Owen, “Communion with God,” The Works of John Owen, Volume 2 (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 1684/2000), 2: 124.
