…to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ Eph3.8 ESV
There is a story about President Theodore Roosevelt that is oft repeated. He occasionally would stand outside under the canopy of heaven with a friend, and after finding one spot among the vast constellations he would say, “That is the Spiral Galaxy in the Constellation of Andromeda. It is as large as our Milky Way. It is formed from hundreds of millions of suns, each larger than our sun.” Then Roosevelt would grin and say ‘Now I think we are small enough! Let's go to bed.”
The Scriptures tell us that God has numbered the stars and given each of them a name. The universe may be unsearchable to us but Christ knows every rock and canyon in a hundred million galaxies and better than we know our own dresser drawer. It is humbling to consider the unsearchable character of the Almighty; He does great things unsearchable, marvelous things without number. What do we know of the worlds He has made? The number of his years is unsearchable. How do you calculate the age of an eternal God. How do we measure His greatness, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. That God is unsearchable is but one measure of the unsearchable riches of Christ. And, it is unsearchable that Christ has poured out this wealth upon us.
