The Unsearchable Riches of Christ

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ

Jesus can be in our lives as our Savior yet not Number 1. This was the case for me. I had found the treasure but was not prepared to sell everything to appreciate Him. Like having a cake and eating it too. Jesus wants to be Lord of all otherwise He is not Lord at all. God’s Spirit will constantly work towards achieving this goal in our lives and we will never be happy until we surrender. He is a Jealous God. After all He has done for us the least we can do is give Him first place in our lives. “God’s kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic – what a find! – and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money to buy the field.” Matthew 13:44 It’s when we seek Him with all our hearts that we really find Him. When He is greater than all our other affections. If Jesus is all who He says He is, we should be really excited about Him. The trouble is we love the world too much. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah:29:13 Where your treasure is there will your heart be also. He wants our hearts.
