That you . . . may be able to comprehend . . . what is the width and length and depth and height?to know the love of Christ. ?Ephesians 3:17-19
We were gathered with family for Thanksgiving dinner when someone asked if each person would share what he or she was thankful for. One by one we talked. Three-year-old Joshua was thankful for ?music,? and Nathan, aged 4, for ?horses.? We were all silenced, though, when Stephen (who was soon to turn 5) answered, ?I?m thankful that Jesus loves me so well.? In his simple faith, he understood and was grateful for the love of Jesus for him personally. He told us that Jesus showed His love by dying on a cross.
The apostle Paul wanted the believers in the church at Ephesus to understand how well God loved them, and that was his prayer: ?That [they would] be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height?to know the love of Christ? (Eph. 3:17-19). He prayed that they would be rooted and grounded in that love.
To ground ourselves in God?s love, it would be helpful to review these verses frequently or even memorize them. We can also take a few minutes each day to thank the Lord for the specific ways He shows His love to us. This will help us to grow in our belief and be thankful?as Stephen is?that Jesus loves us ?so well.? ? Anne Cetas
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure?
The saints? and angels? song. ?Lehman
To renew your love for Christ, review Christ?s love for you.
