(3dly.) His excellency to endear, from his
complete suitableness to all the wants of the souls of men. There
is no man whatever, that hath any want in reference unto the things of God,
but Christ will be unto him that which he wants: I speak of those who are
given him of his Father. Is he dead? Col. iii.
4; 1 Cor. i. 24, 30;
Jer. xxiii. 6.Christ is
life. Is he weak? Christ is the power of God,
and the wisdom of God. Hath he the sense of guilt upon
him? Christ is complete righteousness, — “The Lord our Righteousness.” Many poor
creatures are sensible of their wants, but know not where their remedy
lies. Indeed, whether it be life or light, power or joy, all is wrapped up
in him.
