DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the inexhaustible riches of Christ, contrasting
them with the fleeting nature of earthly wealth. He illustrates that
while worldly riches can be quickly depleted and leave us unsatisfied,
Christ's treasures are bottomless and always available. Brooks uses the
example of a Spanish ambassador to highlight that unlike earthly
treasures, which can run dry, Christ's resources are limitless and can
sustain millions without diminishing. The sermon encourages believers to
rely on Christ's abundant provision rather than the temporary
satisfaction of material wealth.

The riches of Christ are inexhaustible. Christ can never

be drawn dry. Earthly riches are true gardens of Adonis,

where we can gather nothing but trivial flowers surrounded

with many briars, etc. Men rake together worldly riches as

children do snow--which the next shower washes away,

and leaves nothing in the place but dirt; and can dirt

satisfy? Surely not! No more can worldly riches.

The Spanish ambassador coming to see the treasury of Venice,

which is famous throughout the world, fell a-groping whether

it had any bottom, and being asked why, answered, "In this

my great master's treasure differs from yours, in that his has

no bottom, as I find yours to have," alluding to the mines of

Mexico and Potosi, etc.

Certainly Christ's treasures have no bottom--all His bags are

bottomless! Scripture, history, and experience, do abundantly

testify that men's bags, purses, coffers, and mines--may be

exhausted or drawn dry--but Christ's can never. Millions of

thousands live upon Christ, and He feels it not. His purse

is always full, though He is always giving.
