“It is for their perpetual joy that in Christ Jesus ‘are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,’ Col. 2:3. Admirable is the scheme, devised in fathomless love and immeasurable wisdom, whereby our resources are in another and not in ourselves. ‘For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell,’ Col 1:19. ‘And of his fulness have we all received, and grace for grace,’ John 1:16. The best of mere men do on earth sadly deplore their leanness, and were this all, they would sink into deep sadness. But when they look to Jesus they behold such amazing supplies, that they are no longer straitened. He is a never failing well-spring of all good things.” –William S. Plumer “Hebrews” p. 58
