Thomas Brooks emphasizes the boundless fullness of Christ, illustrating
that just as the sun does not lose its light by illuminating the world,
and a fountain does not diminish by filling vessels, Christ overflows
with grace and goodness while remaining complete. He is the ultimate
source of worth and wealth, encapsulating all perfections found in
creation. Brooks encourages believers to recognize that all excellencies
are united in Christ, who is the epitome of divine fullness.

"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!
