Bible Reading: Ephesians 3:1-12
Key Verse: Verse 8 - “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;”
Key Words: riches of Christ
There is an interesting statement found in verse 8, “the unsearchable riches of Christ.” That word unsearchable means “past finding out.” No matter what we know about the riches we have in Christ, there is much more we don’t know!! But here are some things about the riches of Christ that we do know.
He is rich in goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering (Romans 2:4).
He is rich in glory (Romans 9:23).
He is rich in wisdom (Romans 11:33).
He is rich in grace (Ephesians 1:7).
He is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4).
His richness is to all men (Romans 10:12).
His riches are unsearchable (Ephesians 3:8).
The great patriot Patrick Henry understood the great richness of Christ when he said, “I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them and that is faith in Jesus Christ. If they had that and I had not given them a single shilling, they would have been rich; and if they had not that, and I had given them all the world, they would be poor indeed.”
If you do not have Christ, you do not have true riches.
