“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, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things.”
Ephesians 3:8–9 (ESV)
Jeff Bezos is the founder of both Amazon, the world’s largest retailer, and Blue Origin. He has an estimated net worth of $177 Billion, he is the richest person in the world, materially.
In the Old Testament, King Solomon was a man of great riches and wisdom, and his fame spread throughout the known world. Dignitaries from other countries came to hear his wisdom and see his lavish display of wealth. Solomon’s riches were not unsearchable. Solomon’s riches were only the temporal treasures of this world. Jesus is greater than Solomon. Only the treasures of Christ are inexhaustible, they are unsearchable, they are forever and cannot be purchased.
What Are The Unsearchable Riches of Christ?
What Has He Made Available To Us?
The Unsearchable Riches of Christ are the Glory of God, the Truth of God, the Wisdom of God, the Life of God, and the Love of God. The riches of Christ that are made available to us are not Material, they are Spiritual.
The phrase Unsearchable riches of Christ comes from the Greek, for “Unsearchable Riches” is translated as “boundless riches” describing something that cannot be fully comprehended or explored which God through Christ has provided for us with eternal benefits. In other words, there is no limit to the riches of Christ; they are past finding out.
The Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 1:7-14, about The Unsearchable Riches of Christ. He points out that in Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, the knowledge of the mystery of His will, the message of truth, the sealing of the Holy Spirit, and the guarantee of our inheritance. We can never plumb the depths of Christ’s worth. $$$ Money cannot purchase, Love, Peace, Joy, or Contentment!
