70 Aspects of Christ as Everything for Your Enjoyment
Here are 70 aspects of Christ as everything for your appreciation, experience and enjoyment!
I found them while singing and musing on this hymn by Witness Lee entitled: “I’ve found the One of peerless worth.”
This hymn expresses God’s desire for us! He wants us to experience and enjoy Christ as everything.
However, to adequately experience Christ in a certain aspect, we first need to see Him, to appreciate Him in that aspect from God’s word.
Once we see an aspect of Christ we should lay hold of it by praying and musing on those Scripture verses that reveal Him as such a One.
A Hymn on The Experience of Christ as Everything: “I’ve Found the One of Peerless Worth”
Stanza one of the hymn I enjoyed says:
I’ve found the One of peerless worth,
My heart doth sing for joy;
And sing I must, for Christ I have:
Oh, what a Christ have I!
May we all make such a discovery! May we find “the One of peerless worth.”
Since this hymn has fifteen stanzas, I won’t attempt to cover each stanza individually. I will simply list the seventy wonderful items of Christ I discovered with related Bible verses that reveal such an aspect.
I encourage you to follow the Scripture links for each aspect of Christ. Pause to pray and muse over them a little at a time until your appreciation for Christ grows and you experience Christ in that particular aspect.

Make these 70 items of Christ as everything your subjective reality
In the final stanza (s. 15) the author exclaims:
Since such a treasure I possess,
My heart doth sing for joy;
And I must sing, and sing again;
Oh, what a Christ have I!
God desires that we make His unsearchably rich Christ, “my Christ!” Make such a Christ your Christ by calling on His name to partake of all His riches bit by bit, even bite by bite.
Romans 10:13 says, that the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call on Him. As you muse on this list of aspects of Christ, call on His name, “Lord Jesus!” Then thank and praise Him for being these items to you and ask Him to make these aspects of Christ as everything your personal experience.

Thank you for writing this. It is a good exercise to find the verses underlying all the points in a hymn about the rich Christ. Here are a few more aspects, not included in this hymn: the Holy One, the True One (Rev. 3:7), the Root of David (5:5), the Lion of the tribe of Judah (5:5), the Alpha and Omega, First and Last, Beginning and End (22:13). Christ is so rich! Praise Him!
Thank you for sharing these additional aspects of Christ as everything for our enjoyment. Everyone of these items is so rich because they are a description of what our Christ is to us for our experience. May be reminded to apply each of these precious items of Christ through our prayer and life in the spirit.
