The riches of Christ
Listen to what Isaac Ambrose says about the riches found in Christ:
In the knowledge of Christ, there is an excellency above all other knowledge. There is nothing so pleasing and comfortable, so animating and enlivening! Christ is the sum and centre of all revealed truths: we can preach nothing as the object of our faith, which doth no some way or other, either meet in Christ, or refer to him. Christ is the whole of man’s happiness: - the sun to enlighten him, the physician to heal him, the wall of fire to defend him, the friend to comfort him, the pearl to enrich him, the ark to shelter him, and the rock to sustain him under the heaviest of pressures. He is the ladder between earth and heaven, the mediator between God and man, a mystery which the angels desire to look into.
