To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Ephesians 3:8
“The unsearchable riches of Christ; two attractive words, riches and unsearchable, conveying the idea of the things that are most precious being infinitely abundant. Usually precious things are rare; their very rarity increases their price; but here that which is most precious is also boundless – riches of compassion and love, of merit, of sanctifying, comforting, and transforming power, all without limit, and capable of satisfying every want, craving, and yearning of the heart, now and evermore. The thought of his having such riches to offer to all made him regard his office as most glorious, raised him far above the point of view from which the world would despise it, and filled him with adoring gratitude to God for having conferred it on him.”
H. D. M. Spence in Pulpit Commentary notes on Ephesians 3:8.
Read these remarks from Spence again.
What words stand out to you. Infinitely abundant. Sanctifying. All without limit. Most glorious. Adoring gratitude. When we realize what we have in Christ, it helps us grow in gratitude and generosity.
Give thanks today for what you have in Christ, and ask Him how that might lead you to unleash greater generosity.
