Christ All, and in All
Several Significant Similitudes by Which the Lord Jesus Christ Is Described in the Holy Scriptures
We seek happiness in this world and believe we have what it takes to live the good life, only to reap discontent and misery. In Christ Is All, and in All, Ralph Robinson provides the remedy by setting Christ before us as the all-sufficient One. Robinson begins by explaining from Colossians 3:11 how Jesus is the source and guarantee of every blessing for all who are joined to Him in faith. Robinson then spends the remainder of the book investigating a host of metaphors used throughout Scripture that highlight our greatest needs and shows how they are met in Jesus. Discussing how Christ is our life, food, light, shepherd, vine, and so much more, Robinson displays the supreme excellence of knowing our Lord. Read this book and be overwhelmed with the preciousness of Christ. And like Robinson, revel in Christ as the greatest treasure and value Him above all else.
Ralph Robinson (1614-1655) was a graduate of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge, and pastored a Presbyterian congregation at St. Mary Woolnoth, London. He was one of the Puritan ministers who objected to the execution of King Charles in 1649 and suffered imprisonment in the Tower of London for involvement in efforts to restore the Stuart monarchy in 1651. The Westminster divine Simon Ash described Robinson as an exemplary family man, pastor, and friend who was fitted "with gifts more than ordinary." Robinson was forty-one years old when he died.
