'To seek the face of the living God the Christian does not launch a voyage in inner space nor does he enter of abstract infinity. Rather he mediates on Christ of the scripture and on the scripture of Christ. He fills his thoughts with what the Bible says about Jesus, for he is not attempting to imagine a Christ but to learn about the real Christ. The disciple who would learn from his Master must treasure is words.'
Edmund O Clowney, Christian Meditation: What the Bible teaches about meditation and spiritual exercises, p.29.
