There are three things to be considered concerning the glory of Christ, three degrees of its manifestation, the shadow, the perfect image, and the substance itself. Those under the law had only the shadow of it and of the things that belong to it… Under the Gospel we have the perfect image, which they had not. . . But the enjoyment of these things in their substance is reserved for heaven; we must be “where He is, that we may behold His glory.”

John Owen
