"The unsearchable riches of Christ."
--Ephesians 3:8
My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the
measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the
eloquence of words. They are unsearchable ! You may look, and
study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think
Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is
more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than
you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your
wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts
of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on His head, you will
only crown Him with silver when He deserves gold. My Master
has riches of happiness to bestow upon you now . He can make
you to lie down in green pastures, and lead you beside still
waters. There is no music like the music of His pipe, when He is
the Shepherd and you are the sheep, and you lie down at His
feet. There is no love like His, neither earth nor heaven can
match it. To know Christ and to be found in Him--oh! this is
life, this is joy, this is marrow and fatness, wine on the lees
well refined. My Master does not treat His servants churlishly;
He gives to them as a king giveth to a king; He gives them two
heavens--a heaven below in serving Him here, and a heaven above
in delighting in Him for ever. His unsearchable riches will be
best known in eternity . He will give you on the way to heaven
all you need; your place of defence shall be the munitions of
rocks, your bread shall be given you, and your waters shall be
sure; but it is there, THERE, where you shall hear the song of
them that triumph, the shout of them that feast, and shall have
a face-to-face view of the glorious and beloved One. The
unsearchable riches of Christ! This is the tune for the
minstrels of earth, and the song for the harpers of heaven.
Lord, teach us more and more of Jesus, and we will tell out the
good news to others.
