Christ Is All

Posted by jerrywhite on Jun 28, 2010

“What a witness, then, the Eternal Spirit bears for Jesus! He assures the believer that all he can possibly want is treasured up in Christ, that he has no cross but Christ can bear it, no sorrow but Christ can alleviate it, no corruption but Christ can subdue it, no guilt but Christ can remove it, no sin but Christ can pardon it, no want but Christ can supply it. Lift up your heads, ye poor, ye needy, ye disconsolate! Lift up your heads and rejoice that Christ is all to you, all you need in this vale of tears, all you need in the deepest sorrow, all you need under the heaviest affliction, all you need in sickness, all you will need in the hour of death and in the day of judgment. Yea, Christ is in all, too. He is in all your salvation; He is in all your mercies; He is in all your trials; He is in all your consolations and in all your afflictions. What more can you want? What more do you desire? A Father who loves you as the apple of His eye; a full Savior to whom to go, moment by moment; a blessed indwelling, sanctifying, comforting Spirit, to reveal all to you, and to give you Himself, as the ‘earnest of your inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession’ (Eph. 1:14). ‘Happy is that people that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord’ (Psalm 144:15).”
