"To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8-9 NKJV).
A man who had first thought Jesus was a fool who misled people and fought against His church had an enlightening change of mind and heart and discovered that he himself had been the misguided fool. When he learned the truth, he changed his mind and heart and now found that God's grace offered in Christ was full of "unsearchable riches." He was finding jewels of truth, and his heart was being enriched like never before. He was discovering that the more he dug into the treasure chest of God's word, the more he knew there was yet to be discovered. Thus, he found that he could explore a lifetime and never master it all. The treasure chest was deeper than he had imagined. His heart was full of surprise and awe at what he was finding. It was like a treasure hidden in the field (Matthew 13:44), and, in his joy at discovering it, he went and sold all he had to claim it, only to find the treasure was beyond his wildest imagination. It was deeper and wider than he thought. The supply was endless. He could not mine it all out. He kept discovering more and more. That is what Paul meant by "unsearchable".
The Bible is like a treasure chest that reveals riches in Christ beyond our highest thoughts. If you dig and dig, you will see what Paul was talking about. Those are the riches that excite and fascinate the heart. Have you discovered that treasure too?
