The Unsearchable Riches of Christ

With a title like that one might expect a very long (or very short) entry.  This one will be short since my goal here is not to itemize (that may come later), but rather to challenge us all to self-itemize. What comes to mind when you hear Paul say "this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8 ESV)? Make a list in your mind and / or in your Bible. Jesus is so much more than we grasp at any one moment.  And, fallen, forgetful, self-absorbed humans that we are, we tend to focus on the gifts He brings rather than the person that He is. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." (Colossians 3:16 ESV) SDG
