THE LOVE OF JESUS
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”–Ephesians 3:18-19
Love in us — rules us; just so, the infinite love of Jesus, rules Him. All that He has ever purposed, promised, or performed for His people — has flowed from this ocean of divine love! He is a globe of love — without beginning or end! He is a sea of love — without fault of defect! Only an infinite intellect can grasp Christ’s love — only eternity is sufficient to reveal it to our minds. Christ’s love will be always unfolding — but never be fully unfolded. It will be always displaying — but never be fully displayed. We may stand in the center and endeavor to follow its lines — but Christ’s love defies our powers, and drowns our thoughts in its immensity!
Christ’s love can never be diverted from its objects; it is immutably fixed upon them — and remains fixed forever! Had it been possible to have turned its current, it would have been done long ago; but it is still the river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God.
Having loved His own — He loves them unto the very end. Nothing present or future, above or below — can ever separate believers from the love of Jesus!– James Smith
