A beggarly man is one who has no meat to put in his belly, and all you who have no interest in Jesus Christ are beggarly, in this regard, because you do not feed upon that bread of life, nor drink of the water of life, the Lord Christ, whose flesh is meat indeed, and whose blood is drink indeed, without which your souls will starve for hunger. That man who is not clothed with the long robes of Christ's righteousness is a naked man, and is exposed to the wrath and vengeance of Almighty God. Those men have a cloak to cover their sinful nakedness and shame who are clothed with the robes of Christ's righteousness. It is said of Jacob that he obtained the blessing from his father by being clad in the garments of his eldest brother, and so we are only blessed by God our Father as we are clothed with the robes of our elder brother Jesus Christ. That man is a beggarly man who has no money in his purse.
Grace is the only true riches.
All the durable riches are bound up in Christ. And lastly, he is a beggarly man who does not have a house to put his head in, who is destitute of a house to lodge in and a bed to lie on. So, you who have no interest in Christ, when your days are expired and death comes, you do not know what to do nor where to go. You cannot say with the godly man that when death takes you from here that you shall be received into everlasting habitations. You cannot say that Christ has gone before to prepare a place for you in heaven.
