Unlock the Storehouse!

     Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches
of Christ. Eph. 3:8. 

     In the Word of God there are rich mines of truth that we may spend
our whole lifetime in exploring, and yet we shall find that we have only
begun to view their precious stores. . . . There are unsearchable riches
for us. It will take us all eternity to comprehend the riches of the
glory of God and of Jesus Christ. . . .  

     Christ has said: "If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink" (John 7:37). Have you exhausted the fountain? No, for it is
inexhaustible. Just as soon as you feel your need, you may drink, and
drink again. The fountain is always full. And when you have once drunk
of that fountain you will not be seeking to quench your thirst from the
broken cisterns of this world; you will not be studying how you can find
the most pleasure, amusement, fun, and frolic. No, because you have been
drinking from the stream which makes glad the city of God. Then your joy
will be full, for Christ will be in you.

     Jehovah Immanuel--He "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge," in whom dwells "all the fulness of the Godhead bodily"
(Col. 2:3, 9)--to be brought into sympathy with Him, to know Him, to
possess Him, as the heart opens more and more to receive His attributes;
to know His love and power, to possess the unsearchable riches of
Christ, to comprehend more and more "what is the breadth, and length,
and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God" (Eph.
3:18, 19)--"this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the Lord" (Isa. 54:17).

     There is no need for us to hunger, there is no need for us to
thirst, while the storehouse of heaven is open for us and the key is
given into our possession. What is the key? Faith, which is the gift of
God. Unlock the storehouse; take of its rich treasures.
