The knowledge of Christ

Whilst re-reading an excellent essay on Old Princeton I came across this superb quotation from Charles Hodge:

"The knowledge of Christ," he argued, "...is not the apprehension of what he is, simply by the intellect, but also a due apprehension of his glory as a divine person arrayed in our nature, and involves not as its consequence merely, but as one of its elements, the corresponding feeling of adoration, delight, desire and complacency."
