hidden treasure

Beloved of All
We have good counsel given by Christ to this sinful people, and that is that they drop their vain and false opinion they had of themselves, and endeavour to be that really which they would seem to be: I counsel thee to buy of me, etc., Rev. 3:18. Observe, (1.) Our Lord Jesus Christ continues to give good counsel to those who have cast his counsels behind their backs. (2.) The condition of sinners in never desperate, while they enjoy the gracious calls and counsels of Christ. (3.) Our blessed Lord, the counsellor, always gives the best advice, and that which is most suitable to the sinner’s case; as here, [1.] These people were poor; Christ counsels them to buy of him gold tried in the fire, that they might be rich. He lets them know where they might have true riches and how they might have them. First, Where they might have them—from himself; he sends them not to the streams of Pactolus, nor to the mines of Potosi, but invites them to himself, the pearl of price. Secondly, And how must they have this true gold from him? They must buy it. This seems to be unsaying all again. How can those that are poor buy gold? Just as they may buy of Christ wine and milk, that is, without money and without price, Isa. 55:1. Something indeed must be parted with, but it is nothing of a valuable consideration, it is only to make room for receiving true riches. “Part with sin and self-sufficiency, and come to Christ with a sense of your poverty and emptiness, that you may be filled with his hidden treasure.”

Father, we lift up the brokenness of the Body of Christ, if one is in need, we all are in need, one body, one mind. We confess, we repent of our sins and lay down self, self-sufficiency, confessing our need of you, confessing we are bankrupt in mind, body and soul, bankrupt in our relationships, marriages and families, bankrupt in our homes, businesses, economy and finances, bankrupt in our health, in our government, nation and world, bankrupt in the kingdoms and systems of this world, our spirit, our souls  cry out. Though poor, we come to you to buy, without price, just parting with our will, our ways, our sin, laying down our brokenness, emptiness, our poverty, fill us with your hidden treasure that meets every need, leaving us satisfied,content, at peace, mind, body and soul.

To you the Glory, to you the praise, Amen and Amen  in the powerful name of Christ Yeshua, Amen
