is that pot of manna, that cruse of oil, that bottomless ocean, which
never fails his people. There is in Christ an all-sufficiency for all
creatures at all times, in all places.
The great Cham is said to have a tree full of pearls hanging by
clusters; but what is the great Cham's tree to Christ, our tree of life,
who has all variety and plenty of fruit upon him. The happinesses
which come to believers by Christ are so many, that they cannot be
numbered; so great, that they cannot be measured; so copious,
that they cannot be defined; so precious, that they cannot be
valued; all which speaks out the fullness and all-sufficiency of Christ.
There is in Christ, a fullness of abundance, and a fullness of
redundancy, as well as a fullness of sufficiency.
There is in Christ,
1. The fullness of the Spirit.
2. The fullness of grace.
3. The fullness of the image of God.
4. The fullness of the Godhead.
5. The fullness of glory.
But I must not now open nor dilate on these things, lest I should tire
both myself and the reader.
