Who can know their breadth and length,
Or their depth and height unmeasured,
Yet they are my joy and strength.

TO EXPERIENCE
THE UNSEARCHABLE
RICHES OF CHRIST
-------------------
Ephesians is a profound book. In chapter 3 Paul first speaks of the unsearchable riches of Christ (v. 8). Then he goes on to pray that we may be able to comprehend, or apprehend, with the saints the dimensions of Christ (v. 18). This is to know the breadth, the length, the height, and the depth of the universe. These four dimensions are an illustration of Christ’s unlimitedness. What is the height of the universe? How high is the height? No one can measure it. How long is the universe? Can you measure the length? How broad is the breadth, and how deep is the depth? No one can measure this. These dimensions are used by Paul to speak of the unlimitedness of Christ. Christ is not only rich in what He is; He is also immeasurable in His dimensions. This is marvelous. Whenever I come to such a point, I am in trembling that I may miss the mark due to the shortness of human language, the lack of the adequate expression to tell others what the riches of Christ are. By the Lord’s mercy I began to see this about forty years ago. But whenever I spoke on the unsearchable riches of Christ, I regretted that I was so short in the human utterance. In my speaking, I was not so adequate to itemize all the riches of Christ.
Seeing the Unsearchable
Riches of Christ

I would like to impress you that Paul in Ephesians 3:8 says that the “unsearchable riches of Christ” have been shown to him. This verse begins with the phrase to me. When I was young and read this, I would say, “I am not that ‘me. ’ That is Paul. He is too great. ‘To him’ is okay but not ‘to me. ’” But Paul says, “To me. ” This “me” is “less than the least of all saints. ” He was the “leastest, ” yet this grace was given to him to announce the unsearchable riches of Christ as the gospe

We have such a rich Christ. We can admire these riches. We can hear about these riches. We can even talk about these riches without ever experiencing them. These riches are nothing less than God himself. The first 5 verses of this hymn are subjective comprehending and experiencing all these riches, even though we only have a portion of them.
The last verse is the highest verse of them all. Here we really see we must desire to know Christ, not just for ourselves , but for others. Here is the church life where we share our riches of Christ with others, even our neighbors. Now in this environment we can experience this bountiful supply and begin to see the vast dimensions of Christ expressed in His body.

Oh praise the Lord! "Originally, all the riches were contained in God, but now they become our enjoyment to such an extent that they overflow to express the riches of our enjoyment of Christ." Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John.
