How rich are you today? I am not speaking about the balance in your checking account. I am speaking about your blessings in Christ! If by the standards of this world you are not rich but you are in Christ, rejoice, for you are rich beyond measure! From the pen of the apostle Paul we read, “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.”
Jesus has riches that are beyond the measure of mathematics. Jesus has riches that are beyond the reach of reason. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard the riches of our Savior because they are simply beyond measure. But you say, “I am a great sinner!” I say, “Your Lord is a greater Savior!” Jesus is more ready to forgive your sins than you are to transgress His laws and He proved it on Golgotha’s Hill. Those who have been blood-bought by the Lamb of God are rich beyond measure.
Know this – your crucified Savior has crucified all of your sins…past, present and to come. Every sin has been nailed to that dirty tree. When Jesus said it was finished…it was finished indeed. Once you have confessed your sins with a godly sorrow as Peter did when he went out of the camp and wept bitterly after looking into the eyes of his Lord and Savior, return and feed the sheep. Also know this – your risen Savior has given to you a risen life. The power of His resurrection has given to you all the power you need to rise up out of the ashes of any defeat. Shed those grave-clothes of disappointment, discouragement, or defeat, because Jesus has made you rich beyond measure. This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT…AMEN!
Grace for the Race
