It's the great John Owen, from <A HREF="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/owen/communion.i.vii.iii.i.html" REL="nofollow">Of Communion with God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost</A>.<BR/><BR/>I think it's worth reflecting on. You mightn't expect it of Owen, who's famous for being The Puritan, and for his still-unanswered case for effectual and particular redemption.<BR/><BR/>In this quotation, we see Owen positively exulting in God's bottomless grace, rejoicing in it. I don't think he stands one whit beneath Spurgeon, in this passage, in his glorying in the grace of God.<BR/><BR/>But see too the practical and essential connection he makes, at its end, to the truth of the Deity of Christ.<BR/><BR/>Challenging, weighty, edifying, encouraging, humbling, exalting. That's Owen.DJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471042180904855578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1168378336129412732007-01-09T13:32:00.000-08:002007-01-09T13:32:00.000-08:00Charley Finney.Charley Finney.FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1168376898906213312007-01-09T13:08:00.000-08:002007-01-09T13:08:00.000-08:00John Owen hands down!John Owen hands down!ChosenClayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223903620505081145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1168356046029098472007-01-09T07:20:00.000-08:002007-01-09T07:20:00.000-08:00I have no idea either.
