Knowledge of Christ's Glory

Thank you all for your prayers.  Heavy rain predicted for our area passed to the south of Ames, narrowly averting continued flooding.  I just read a wonderful sermon by John Flavel on the glory of Christ and the immense encouragement believers can receive by dwelling on His glory.  Flavel said, “The study of Jesus Christ is the most noble subject that ever a soul spent itself upon.  Studying Christ stamps a heavenly glory upon the contemplating soul.  How little do we know of Christ, in comparison with what we might have known!  O how much time is spent in other studies and worldly employments; but how little in the search and study of Jesus Christ!  O then, give yourself and your strength to this most sweet study.”
