Christ is all!
Thomas Watson wrote:
What need does he have to complain of losses who has Christ? Â He is His Father’s brightness (Hebrews 1:3), His fullness (Colossians 2:9), and His delight (Proverbs 8:30). Â Is there enough in Christ to delight the heart of God? Â And is there not enough in Him to ravish us with holy delight? Â He is wisdom to teach us, righteousness to acquit us, sanctification to adorn us. He is that royal and princely gift. Â He is the bread of angels (according to Bernard), the joy and triumph of saints. Â He is “all in all” (Colossians 3:11). Why then are you discontented?
