1 Kings 15:1-32; Jeremiah 26:1-24; Colossians 3:5-4:1
That you…may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge… Ephesians 3:17-19 NKJV
Paul’s desire for us is that we would appreciate the vast extent of Christ’s love. Ephesians gives insight into the dimensions of this love. Here is the width, “We who once were far off have been brought near.” Here is the length, “before the foundation of the world”. The depth is, “He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth.” The height, “He raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places.” —Gary McBride
How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure. —S. Townend
