The entire Christian life finds its orbit around the sun of Christ: his perfect person, his perfect works, and his perfect substitutionary death for us. The Christian is drawn toward Christ and his attractive beauty, and a sure mark of health is an appetite for more of Christ. The Christian is attracted to books about Christ and sermons about Christ and songs about Christ. Duty and pleasure merge. Simultaneously, the world’s foolish vanities become like child’s toys in the light of Christ.
