All fullness dwells in Christ. Reader, come ponder, praise, admire, adore Him. Those who know Him, never can commend enough. Ignorance alone neglects, despises, disesteems Him. The neediest of needy sinners find all supply in Him. He is salvation's overflowing well. He fills all vessels, so that they can hold no more. He is a treasure-house, in which gold never fails.
Let the surface of this truth be touched. You are sin-soiled. Here is a fountain of all-cleansing blood. Wash, and be whiter, than the spotless snow. Satan, and SELF, and life-long trespasses condemn you. Here is Jesus' wounded side, presenting an acquitting plea. Your best obedience is a filthy rag.
Here is the righteousness of God, a perfect covering, a glorious robe. Your heart by nature is a lifeless stone. Christ sends His Spirit, and the entrance is life. He is a PRIEST, offering His blood, living to intercede, pouring down blessings. He is a KING, ruling above, within, around. He is a PROPHET, giving all knowledge, leading in wisdom's paths, diffusing floods of light, teaching salvation's lessons.
[Henry Law]
Luke 1:76-77 … And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins.
Deuteronomy 18:15 … The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Hebrews 5:9-10 … And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Revelation 17:14 … These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.❤
