Christian Philosophy: How Christ Fulfills Proverbs 10:22

Proverbs 10:22 says: "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it." Unlike previous proverbs, this one does not have a positive clause and a negative clause. Rather, it states two things about the "blessing of the LORD." Now, let us see how the Lord Jesus Christ is seen in this proverb!

Who can deny that God the Son is THE Blessing that God the Father has blessed the world with?

And, indeed, Christ makes rich: He makes those who trust in and love Him rich with the greatest Treasure of all: Himself. He came so that His people, who were poor before He came to them, would become rich in Him (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Also, Christ is Treasure that carries no sorrow with it. The opposite is starkly true with carnal riches (1 Timothy 6:9-10). With this truth in mind, it's a wonder that so many prefer and choose these fading beauties instead of the glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4)!

Reader, do you want this Treasure? Then reject and spurn whatever "riches" are competing for your heart's affections! Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Bible reveals Him, and Him ONLY! Set your heart on Him!
