Yet let me say, Solomon had a very shallow understanding and Comprehension of things, if compared with the man Christ Jesus. Christ's Wisdom is a thousand times greater than ever Solomons was, or than ever any other man attained unto. And the Soul of Christ is endowed and adorned with all spiritual Graces, in the Highest degree that can be. The prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon a Throne, and his train filled the Temple: There are a train of glorious Graces which fill the Temple of Christ's humane Nature. There is no other man on earth or in heaven hath so much grace but it is possible for him to have yet more; but the man Christ Jesus is so full of Grace, as that it is impossible for him to have more. Joh. 1. 14. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us full of Grace and truth. Yea, and of his Fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. ver. 16. What a glorious and inexpressible fullness of Grace is that! To have so much fullness of Grace, as to be able to impart thereof to all the Elect of God. Christ is as full of Grace, as a Fountain is full of water. ⟨p. 189⟩Yea, as full of Grace, as the Sun is full of Light: for which cause He is styled the Sun of Righteousness. Mal. 4. 2. And he said of himself, I am the Light of the world. Joh. 8. 12. There are some Believers who have received a large measure of spiritual gifts & graces, but have it all from Christ. How full is He then! We read in Zech. 4. 11, 12. Of two Olive trees by the candlestick, which empty the golden oil out of themselves. In the Type, Joshua & Zerubbabel were the sons of oil, who did improve the gifts and graces which they had received, for the benefit of the Candlestick of the Jewish Church: So Christ is always imparting of that fullness which he has received to Believers, and to His Churches, through the golden Pipes of his Ordinances. Then what an unmeasurable Fullness of the Grace of the Spirit has the Lord Jesus received! There is in Christ an inexhaustible Ocean of Grace. Believers are said to have Rivers of Grace flowing into their hearts, Joh. 7. 38. But Christ hath an Ocean of Grace flowing in His blessed heart. As all Rivers come from the Sea; so all those Rivers of Grace in the souls of believers are derived from that Sea of Grace which is in Jesus Christ.
