"O The Depth of the Riches..."

Rom. 11:33-36

33. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35. ...
36. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Commentary

The Apostle Paul penned this beautiful exclamation as he summed up his account of God's plan to save both Jew and Gentile, a plan so simple and yet so profound. Like searchers who have suddenly stumbled upon a cave full of unimaginable riches, we can only stand back at marvel with him at that which is ours for the taking, all because of Jesus. Truly there is a wealth of "wisdom better than rubies" (Prov. 8:11) to be mined from the mind of the Lord. What excuse can be found for us, "if we neglect so great salvation?" (Heb. 2:3)
