Sweet Buy!
“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou
art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear;
and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.”
(Revelation 3:17-18)
Blessed exchange!
Our nakedness—for Christ's justifying robe!
Our poverty—for Christ's riches!
Our helplessness and insufficiency—for
Christ's power, grace and love!
