Today’s Quote
Meditation on Christ is the soul's telescope to view His glory more clearly.
— Jonathan Edwards
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
If you could go to Heaven and spend time with someone you dearly love, you would often be found there. But here is Jesus, the King of Heaven, who gives you access to Heaven’s gates and invites you to be with Him. Yet, how often do you neglect to meditate on His work, His person, His roles, and His glory?
There is nothing that can so comfort your spirit and relieve your troubles as the knowledge that you can meditate on the person of Jesus Christ.

Meditation is like putting a telescope to your eye, allowing you to see Jesus more clearly than if you had lived during His time on earth. Now we see not just the physical Jesus, but the spiritual Christ—the life and essence of Emmanuel, the very soul
of the Savior. Blessed is the one whose spiritual sight of Jesus is clear.
