Three distinct things the soul has. to recognize the Son of Man who bore the judgment of God for sin-the Son of God who rose from the dead, a. life-giving Spirit-and the Son of the Father, all things put under Him, all made over into His hand.
It is an amazing thing the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in glory, saying, "I have put forth a Man, and what I claim of you is to see in Him all that is true of me, you could not know me without Him. He is up there as your Security, and now you are to be filled with all My fullness in Him." A vessel floating in the sea, gives the meaning of being filled with all fullness of Christ, being filled like a vessel let into water. How the feeblest saint gets to be connected with the immeasurable glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The love of God is not satisfied merely to bless. He wants to have my heart happy in the blessing; He is not satisfied merely to heap up blessing, but wants to have all the inward feelings of my heart in unison with those of the Son of His love, and so in communion with His own heart.
