How to Meditate on Christ

John Owen, the chief of the Puritan theologians, offered five helpful ways to meditate on the person and work of Christ:

1. Consider that the knowledge of Christ as fully God and fully man in one Person is the most useful object of our contemplations and affections.
2. Diligently study the Scriptures with the express purpose of finding the glory of Christ in them.
3. Meditate frequently upon the knowledge of Christ that you have already obtained, both from Scripture and from sermons.
4. Do not simply rely upon fixed times set aside for meditation, but think upon Christ at every possible occasion throughout the day.
5. Accompany your thoughts of Christ with admiration, adoration, and thanksgiving.
