Excerpts from Owen's "The Glory of Christ" (part 7)

"Christ is a Sanctuary, a sure refuge to all that put thier trust in Him. And what would a troubled man fleeing to a safe place be looking for? He would look for all his needs to be met, to be delivered from all his fears, to be protected from all dangers. Such is the Lord Christ to all sin-distressed souls."

Excerpts from Owen's"The Glory of Christ" (part 6)

"We may behold the glory of Christ in his infinite willingness to humble himself, and uniting our nature to his for that purpose. He did not become mediator by chance. Nor was it imposed on him against his will. He did not have to become mediator. He freely choose to become mediator. He willingly humbled himself in order that he might make a righteous peace between God the Judge and man the sinner.

Such is the transcendent glory of the divine nature, that it is said of God that he 'dwelleth on high', and yet 'humbleth himself to behold the things that are in the heaven and in the earth' (Ps. 113: 4-6 [KJV-mine]). God is willing to take notice of the most glorious things in heaven and the lowliest things in the earth. This shows his infinite humility."

Excerpts from Owens "The Glory of Christ" (part 5)

"In addition, this glory is the ruin of Satan and his kingdom. Satan's sin, as far as we can see, consisted of two evils. Firstly, there was his pride against the person of the Son of God by whom he was created (Col. 1:16). This was the start of his transgression. Secondly, there was his envy against mankind, made in the image of God, the Son of God the firstborn. This completed his sin. Nothing was now left to lift himself proudly up against, nor to vent his malice on. To Satan's eternal confusion and ruin, God in His infinite wisdom united both the natures' he had sinned against in the one person of the Son, who was the first object of his pride and malice. By this, his destruction is accompanied with everlasting shame in the revelation of his foolishness in attempting to overthrow infinite wisdom, as well as his misery in being overthrown himself by the power of the two natures united in one person."
