Calvin on John 17:1

I'm beginning to study John 17's account of Jesus' High Priestly Prayer. Here's a gem of a quote from Calvin on Jesus lifting his eyes to heaven to pray.

"Yet if we desire to actually imitate Christ, we must take care that outward gestures do not express more than is in our mind, but that the inward feeling shall direct the eyes, the hands, the tongue, and everything about us."
- John Calvin
