He fills all, and yet remains full – Thomas Brooks

“It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell.” Col. 1:19
The sun has not the less light for filling the world with light. A fountain has not the less for filling the lesser vessels.

There is in Christ the fullness of a fountain. The overflowing fountain pours out water abundantly, and yet remains full. Why, the Lord Jesus is such an overflowing fountain; He fills all, and yet remains full. Christ has the greatest worth and wealth in Him. As the worth and value of many pieces of silver is concentrated in one piece of gold, so all the petty excellencies scattered abroad in the creature are united to Christ; yes, all the whole volume of perfections which is spread through heaven and earth, is epitomized in Him!
