Thanks for following this up K. Winston's comments and your post reminds me of a great quote I read from Raymond Ortlund Jr in his book on Romans: "When you look at the Bible, what do you see?

It is meant to illuminate our thoughts of God, and thus to alight our affections for God". I really appreciated Winston sharing about this on Sunday (sorry, I don’t think I’ve told you yet Winston).
