J.C. Ryle emphasizes the profound humility of the Apostle Paul, who regarded himself as 'less than the least of all saints' while preaching the 'unsearchable riches of Christ' to the Gentiles. Ryle highlights that true humility is a hallmark of genuine faith, as those who are spiritually enlightened recognize their own shortcomings and the vastness of Christ's grace. He urges believers to appreciate the ministerial office as a vital and honorable calling, tasked with proclaiming the gospel and administering God's ordinances. Ultimately, Ryle calls for a deeper understanding of the unsearchable riches found in Christ, which encompass His person, work, and the abundant grace available to all who believe. He concludes by encouraging self-examination regarding one's view of oneself, ministers, and Christ Himself.
