The Breadth and Length and Height and Depth of Christ's Love

Readings:
Psalm 30
Ephesians 3:14-21

Focus:
Ephesians 3:18-19a: "May you, in company with all God's people, be strong to grasp what is the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and to know it, though it is beyond knowledge."

It is incredible to me that people can talk of Christ so disrespectfully, or use his name in such terrible ways. It is because they do not know him. If only they did, they would never say such things about someone who loved them so much.

Knowing Christ, being a recipient of his love, gives me the most tender feelings for him, as well as feelings of respect and awe.

There is nothing to compare with such love as Christ gives us. It makes life more than good. It makes life indescribably worthwhile. It is what I want for everyone else. It is, indeed, why I write this blog--so that all who read it may be able to know this love.
