"All fullness" is not in Christ, as a stranger at an inn, coming in and going out; but it pleased the Father that it should dwell and remain in Him.

When they were crying Hosanna to Christ, and occasion of joy furnished to Him, yet he wept over the city, and spoke words of compassion, but broken and imprisoned with sighing and sorrow, " Oh if thou knew, even thou!" Now what compassion must be in Him, when his compassion had such an edge! Joseph's compassion is nothing to His, He having take a man's heart to go along with the saints to heaven, sighing, weeping, mourning, "tempted in all these as we are, but without sin" (Heb. 4:15¹⁵For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. (Hebrews 4:15)).
