The Fullness of Christ

There is not, a want in the sinner but there is a corresponding fullness in our blessed Redeemer. Is the sinner hungry? Let him come to Christ, and he shall be made to partake of the Bread of Life. Is the sinner thirsty? Let him come to Christ, and he shall be permitted to “drink of the wells of salvation.” Is the sinner sick? Let him come to Christ, and he shall have life and vigor infused into his soul. Is he naked? Let him come to Christ, and he shall receive a beauteous robe. Is he blind? Let him come to Christ, and he shall have his eyes opened to see wondrous things. Is he deaf? Let him come to Christ, and his ears shall be unstopped to hear the voice of uncreated harmony speaking peace to his happy soul. Is the sinner burdened? Let him come to Christ, and his burden shall be taken away. Is the sinner longing for rest? Let him come to Christ, and he shall have sweet repose. Is he trembling under the apprehension of future wrath? Let him come to Christ, and he will find that there is “no condemnation to them which are in Christ”; for, according to the Scriptures, “being justified by faith,” he shall have “peace with God.”
Yes, no matter what may be the sinner’s wants or woes, Christ is suited to his case in all things; only let him come to Christ, and he shall be made rich and happy throughout all time, and throughout eternity, Assuredly, then, it is the sinner’s interest to come to Christ.
