When the Apostle Paul describes to the church in Ephesus the riches of Christ that he has been so privileged to proclaim, the Amplified version of the Bible puts it thus:
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God's consecrated people), this grace (favour, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending, boundless, fathomless, incalculable and exhaustless riches of Christ - wealth which no human being could have searched out.
- Ephesians 3 : 8
Oh that we could ask God, like Paul did -
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may grant me a spirit of wisdom and revelation - of insight into mysterious secrets - in the deep knowledge of Him, by having the eyes of my heart flooded with light,
so that I can know and understand the hope to which He has called me
and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints - His set apart ones.
And so that I can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for me who believes.
- Ephesians 1 : 17 - 19
