Ephesians 3:8
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;
Never forget that Jesus is our BROTHER, and
that He has devoted all His riches to us, so that the riches of Jesus are the
Christian’s fortune.
“Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor, that we through His
poverty might be rich.”
He employed all He possessed for our
redemption, sanctification, and salvation; and now, at the right hand of the majesty
on high, He giveth liberally, and upbraideth not.
He has riches of grace;
riches of mercy;
and
riches of glory.
The residue of the Spirit is with Him.
He has promised largely;
He has proved His
readiness to bestow, in the most wonderful way;
let us therefore expect great
things from Him, for He has UNSEARCHABLE RICHES.
O believer, look not at thy poverty, at thy wants,
or thy circumstances;
but look at Jesus; all things are under His feet, all
blessings are at His disposal, and His heart is set upon thee to do the good!
He will supply all thy needs while on earth,
and afterwords receive thee to glory.
My soul, thy Jesus has all thou needest;
therefore look to Him, and Him alone!
Possessing Christ, I all possess,
Strength, wisdom, sanctifying grace,
And righteousness complete;
Bold in His name, I dare draw nigh,
Before the Ruler of the sky,
And all His justice meet.
James Smith
