Christ inviting sinners to come to him for rest

there is the strength of Grace, when Christ dwells in our heart, That you may be able to comprehend with all Saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the Love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Here is the fruit of it, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God, a strange speech, had it not been in Scripture who durst have expressed himself thus that by coming to know God in Christ, you may come to be filled with all the fullness of God in Christ. It were very much to say thus, by knowing God in Christ, you may come to have God, that is somewhat, but secondly that you may come to be filled with God, that's more, But Thirdly, That ye may come to be filled with the fullness of God, that is yet more, yea, Fourthly, That you may come to be filled with all the fullness of God.
