“I counsel you to buy from
Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich: and white garments, that you may be clothed,
that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with
eye salve, that you may see.
·
The gold of godly character makes us
rich in this age by tenderizing our heart to feel more of God’s love and
enlarging our desire for Him and for righteousness.
·
Righteous living results in the reward
of eternal garments. Our garments begin with the gift of righteousness that is
imputed to us by faith (2 Cor. 5:21).
However, here Jesus is speaking of experiential righteousness or acts of
righteousness.
·
Jesus was saying that we must take
action to cure our spiritually sick eyes. Only the Holy Spirit can give us
revelation of Jesus and His Word. However, we can take natural steps as we take
time to feed on the Word and turn our eyes away from worthless things that dull
our spirit.
Proverbs 27:21 The
refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, and a man is valued by
what others say of him.
Isaiah 55:1
“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the
waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money
and without price.
