Genesis 41:53-57 And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.… Dr. Conyers was for some years a preacher before he had felt the power of the gospel. As he was reading his Greek Testament he came to Ephesians 3:8: "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ." "Riches of Christ!" said he to himself;" 'Unsearchable riches of Christ!' What have I preached of these? What do I know of these?" Under the blessing of the Spirit of God he was thus awakened to a new life and a new ministry. Are there not some yet living who might put to their own consciences similar questions? ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.WEB: The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end. |
