...how vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only son to make a wretch His treasure."
A wretch His treasure. Wow, who on earth would make a wretch his treasure? No one other than God, for He gave His only son to make this wretch His treasure.
Luke 7:44 Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little." 48And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, "Who is this, who even forgives sins?" 50And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
I thank God for making this wretch His treasure, for just like the woman with many sins was forgiven and loved much, so am I. To some this might seem as boasting, well in a sense it is. I am boasting in Jesus Christ for this lost soul was made His treasure.
