GRACE - opens 'unsearchable riches'!
The apostle Paul in his timeless letter to the Ephesians taught:
Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things, (3:8-9)
Evangelist J.H. Jowett wrote in 1905:
John Wesley appeared to take pride in recounting and describing the appalling ruin and defilement of mankind ... pointing to the all-sufficient power of redeeming grace ...
Redeeming grace, when received, parts doors to never held new wealth.
Jowett continued:
... Here, then, my brothers and sisters are the 'unsearchable riches' of Christ - riches of love, riches of pardon, riches of righteousness, riches of peace, for restoring the sin-scorched wastes of the soul, riches for the transforming sullenness of sorrow and pain, and riches for healthily adjusting to the difficult relationships of the home, the state and the country. Mix in the transferring of desire from the sinful and mundane to the miraculous.
These boundless riches are ours. Every Christian soul is the heir to this vast inheritance.
