Ephesians 3:18-19, "May you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully!" The love of Jesus is not merely great, it is unsearchable. It defies measurement and surpasses comprehension. The Apostle Paul prayed that believers might understand this unknowable love, not by reason alone, but by the Spirit's illumination and heart-experience. The love of Christ is eternal in its origin, infinite in its depth, and effectual in its power. It is a love that stooped to the manger, and climbed willingly to the cross! He loved us when we were unlovely--when we were still sinners, enemies, rebels, and dead in transgressions! Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4-5. Such wondrous love can neither be earned nor merited; it is sovereign and free. Christ's love never began, and it shall never end. He set His electing love upon His people from eternity past, and will never remove it in eternity future. No created mind can fully comprehend it. As the sea cannot be measured by the hand--so neither can Christ's love be contained by intellect. It is wide enough to embrace all the elect of God, long enough to stretch from eternity past to eternity future, deep enough to rescue the vilest sinner, and high enough to raise us to glory! When affliction comes, let us gaze again at Calvary. There the measure of His love is revealed, not in empty sentiment, but in His substitutionary sacrifice. There, Christ bore our sin. There, He endured the wrath that was ours. There, His love was proven beyond all doubt. Drink deeply, dear believer, from this well that
