Charles Spurgeon, et al.
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.
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.
And There, He endured the wrath that was ours.
There, His love was proven beyond all doubt.
Therefore Drink deeply, dear believer, from this well that never runs dry. Though you can never reach its bottom, you are invited to wade in its depths.
“O Lord Jesus, what tongue can speak of Your wondrous love for sinful me. May Your unsearchable love to me, constrain me to live no longer for myself but for You, who died for me and underwent my eternal punishment. Amen.”
