Jesus Is Enough For The Infinite, Eternal God; Shouldn't He Be Enough For Us?

Thomas Watson wrote:

What need does he have to complain of losses who has Christ? He is His Father’s brightness (Hebrews 1:3), His fullness (Colossians 2:9), and His delight (Proverbs 8:30). Is there enough in Christ to delight the heart of God? And is there not enough in Him to ravish us with holy delight? He is wisdom to teach us, righteousness to acquit us, sanctification to adorn us. He is that royal and princely gift. He is the bread of angels (according to Bernard), the joy and triumph of saints. He is “all in all” (Colossians 3:11). Why then are you discontented?

“Will you not be satisfied with the work of Christ, when His work was enough to satisfy the wrath of God?”
