The story without an end

I have heard of a book entitled ‘The Story without an End.’ I know no story deserving that title so well as the everlasting Gospel: this is indeed and in truth the story without an end.

There is an infinite ‘fulness’ in Christ; there are in Him ‘unsearchable riches;’ there is in Him a ‘love which passeth knowledge;’ He is an ‘unspeakable gift’ (Col 1:19; Eph 3:8; Eph 3:19; 2 Cor 9:15).

There is no end to all the riches which are treasured up in Him—in His person, in His work, in His offices, in His words, in His deeds, in His life, in His death, in His resurrection.
