Christ is all!

Thomas Watson wrote:

What need does he have to complain of losses who has Christ?  He is His Father’s brightness (Hebrews 1:3), His fullness (Colossians 2:9), and His delight (Proverbs 8:30).  Is there enough in Christ to delight the heart of God?  And is there not enough in Him to ravish us with holy delight?  He is wisdom to teach us, righteousness to acquit us, sanctification to adorn us. He is that royal and princely gift.  He is the bread of angels (according to Bernard), the joy and triumph of saints.  He is “all in all” (Colossians 3:11). Why then are you discontented?

(Thomas Watson, The Art of Divine Contentment (Grand Rapids:  Soli Deo Gloria Publications, 2001), 34.)

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
