Oh what a shame is it that those that do profess themselves Christians, should understand so little of Jesus Christ! this is that that God expects: I say, that we should study the Gospel, search into the Gospel, that we may see more of Christ; the more we see, the more still we shall wonder, for Christ is an infinite depth, and the more we search into him, the more we shall see cause to wonder: In the first of the Ephesians, mark what a prayer Paul makes for the Ephesians, in the 17, and 18. verses, he told them before, that he did not cease to give thanks for them, making mention of them in his prayers: to what end? That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of Glory, may give unto you the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of him.

He doth not only pray, that they might have some knowledge of him, but that they might have a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Christ; and this from the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, and from the Father of Glory.
