Christ is Everything

It is a great thing, when Christ has such a place with us as to be everything. In one sense this is the door by which all must pass through. At death, if not before, nature must decay and vanish. What is more nothing than death? All here is gone. We may learn this spiritually, or by circumstances, or at the moment of death itself; but learn it we must. We must find everything but Christ [to be] nothing. (JND Vol 21, p 173)
