Centrality of Christ

Jesus Christ is so precious that if Heaven and earth were put together, they could not buy another Savior. When God gave His Son to the world, He gave the best that Heaven had. Take Christ out of Heaven, and there is nothing for God to give. Christ was God’s All, for is it not written, “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”?

Christ may be called the key-stone of the arch of truth. Take away the key-stone of an arch, and the whole becomes a heap of rubbish.

The very same truths may be there; but they are all fallen, without coherence, without order, without end. Christ may be called the sun of the of the system of truth. Take away the sun out of our system, and every planet would rush into confusion … Just so, take Christ away, and the whole system of truth rushes into confusion.
