The Unsearchable Riches of Christ!
Christ has an infinite and boundless supply of goodness and blessings that we can never fully understand or exhaust.
Thomas Brooks emphasizes the abundant and unsearchable riches found in Christ, encouraging even the greatest sinners to believe in Him for their happiness and fulfillment. He describes Christ as the ultimate source of goodness, providing everything from spiritual wealth to healing and nourishment. Brooks reassures the weary and broken-hearted that Christ offers solutions to their deepest needs, whether they are poor, naked, blind, hungry, thirsty, wounded, sick, or imprisoned. The sermon highlights the sufficiency of Christ in meeting all human needs and the eternal blessings He provides.
Text
There is everything in Christ to encourage the greatest
sinners to believe on Him, to rest and lean upon Him for
all happiness and blessedness. Christ is . . .
the greatest good,
the choicest good,
the chief good,
the most suitable good,
the most necessary good
a pure good,
a real good,
a total good,
an eternal good,
a soul-satisfying good!
Sinners, are you poor? Christ has gold to enrich you.
Are you naked? Christ has royal robes, and white clothing to clothe you.
Are you blind? Christ has eye-salve to enlighten you.
Are you hungry? Christ will be manna to feed you.
Are you thirsty? He will be a well of living water to refresh you.
Are you wounded? He has a balm under his wings to heal you.
Are you sick? He is a physician to cure you.
Are you prisoners? He has laid down a ransom for you.
