About this episode

This episode explores John Owen’s teachings on the nearness of Christ to His people and the personal grace He communicates.

In this episode, we meditate on John Owen’s rich teaching on Christ’s nearness to His people. Jesus does not redeem from afar — He draws near, dwells with His saints, and communicates His grace personally by His Spirit. His presence strengthens weak faith, comforts weary hearts, and makes obedience joyful. This is heaven begun on earth: Christ with His people now, and forever.
