A. B. Simpson was an author, hymn writer, conference speaker, evangelist to the urban masses of New York City, and a missionary statesman. He founded The Christian and Missionary Alliance and Nyack College.
The following is from his book The Christ Life:
"Now God has specially qualified His Son to be to us the sum and substance of our spiritual life. We are told in Col. 2:3: 'In him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.'
"God has put in Christ everything that man can ever need. He has just concentrated and personified in this blessed Man all His own strength, love, and help, for you and me.
". . . So He took His glory, and beauty, and help, and put it down on the level of human ignorance and helplessness. He just put it all in the mirror, Jesus Christ, and said, 'Is there anything in God you need? There it is in miniature.' And then He puts it in your hand, and says, 'I have put in Jesus all I am, and now I give Him to you, and you can claim Him for your own.'"
