UNSEARCHABLE riches of CHRIST

 

Luke 2:52

King James Version

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, 

and in favour with God and man.


Today, I'm falling all over myself.

So excited, because there's so much to write about.

Before breakfast, I was taking down notes.

At breakfast, more notes called for attention.

Since GOD made me born again over 52 months ago, it's been this way.

If not for SPIRIT, I'd be all over the place.

He is my GUIDING LIGHT.

Today, He guided me to a particular phrase:

"the unsearchable riches of Christ"


Searching Scripture, I found this verse from apostle Paul:

Ephesians 3:8

King James Version

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;


Well, I am a Gentile.

If you're not a Jew, you're a Gentile.

Really only TWO kinds of people in the world.

That's why I wonder at all the complexities.

But what did apostle Paul mean?

What was the "unsearchable riches of Christ"?

So, I dug further and SPIRIT presented these:

Ephesians 3:9

King James Version

9 And to make all men see 

what is the fellowship of the mystery, 

which from the beginning of the world 

hath been hid in God, 

who created all things by Jesus Christ:


Ephesians 3:14-15

King James Version

14 For this cause I bow my knees 

unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of whom the whole family 

in heaven and earth is named,


Colossians 1:14

King James Version

14 In whom we have redemption 

through his blood, 

even the forgiveness of sins:


Colossians 1:15

King James Version

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, 

the firstborn of every creature:


Colossians 1:16

King James Version

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, or dominions, 

or principalities, or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:


Colossians 1:17

King James Version

17 And he is before all things, 

and by him all things consist.


Colossians 1:18

King James Version

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: 

who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; 

that in all things he might have the preeminence.


Colossians 1:19

King James Version

19 For it pleased the Father 

that in him should all fulness dwell;


Colossians 1:120

King James Version

20 And, having made peace 

through the blood of his cross, 

by him to reconcile all things unto himself; 

by him, I say, 

whether they be things in earth, 

or things in heaven.


And if we think that tells us all, apostle John just about clinches it:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, 

the which, if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself could not contain 

the books that should be written. 

Amen.


I've been studying, and writing, non-stop over four years now.

And this much I can tell you.

After nearly a hundred blogs, it doesn't suffice.

There's still so much more to write.

Some days, I feel I've barely begun.

So I begin again, and write, and write.

Very humbling, indeed.


The Bible is astoundingly rich in TREASURES!

If you want absolute truth, search Scripture.

Every WORD from GOD is soul-shaking.

Every prophet, and every apostle, have TONS to share with you.

Every believer has much to tell you, of their own testimony.

Believers are all living witnesses to GOD's WORD.

Which happens to be JESUS.


If you think the world is interesting, you don't know JESUS.

If you think the world is fulfilling, you have not experienced JESUS.

If you think the world is full of lies and deception, you're correct.

If you think there's something more to life, you're right.


Time to turn to JESUS then.

What are you waiting for?

It is 2024, after all.

Time for change.

Time for GOD's TRUTH.

Time for JESUS.
