Matthew Henry Commentary Ephesians 3:8-12

"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things; to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him." — Ephesians 3:8-12 (ASV)

Those whom God advances to honorable roles, he makes low in their own eyes; and where God gives grace to be humble, there he gives all other necessary grace. How highly he speaks of Jesus Christ: the unsearchable riches of Christ! Though many are not enriched with these riches, yet how great a favor to have them preached among us, and to have an offer of them! And if we are not enriched with them, it is our own fault.

The first creation, when God made all things out of nothing, and the new creation, by which sinners are made new creatures by converting grace, are from God through Jesus Christ. His riches are as unsearchable and as sure as ever, yet while angels adore the wisdom of God in the redemption of his church, the ignorance of self-wise and carnal men deems the whole to be foolishness.
