The Unsearchable Riches of Christ
To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ....
Ephesians 3:8-9
Notice Paul’s humble attitude. He looked at himself as the least of all the saints. He recognized that apart from Jesus Christ, he could not have become an Apostle. Paul felt it a privilege to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ––to proclaim the unsearchable riches of Christ––at no cost.
God allows us to be used by Him to give out to others His unsearchable riches found in Jesus Christ––His love, mercy and grace. Listen, the Gospel is free to anyone who wants to hear and receive it. Christ’s unsearchable riches can be found by them. The way of salvation was hidden, but it has been revealed by God through His Son, Jesus Christ. When we begin to understand who we are in Christ, we are able to fully enjoy His unsearchable riches. Talk about being rich! We are rich! Spiritually, we are super-blessed as children of the Lord.
Some Christians sit at home sorrowfully and think about all their problems, but they are missing out on the joy of having God’s unsearchable riches. They need to focus on all Christ has done for them. Why sit and feel defeated in constant worry and anxiety? Allow the Lord to minister to you through the Scriptures. Discipline yourself to have a devotional time in God’s Word and seek Him daily, and you will receive the knowledge and wisdom to solve your problems.
Do not sit at home depressed. Come to church, and after a time of worship and listening to the sermon, you will feel ministered to and encouraged. Then you will begin to praise the Lord and give Him honor and glory for all the unsearchable riches you have in Christ!
Riches of love to sinners as such, and riches of pardon to sinners who repent, are stored up in the Lord Jesus Christ.
