THE BREADTH OF GOD’S LOVE

“That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,  and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge…”  (Ephesians 3:17b-19a ESV)

The dimensions and depths of God’s grace are incalculable. The capacity and proportions of His promises are innumerable. The extent and magnitude of His wisdom is immeasurable. His yearnings and tender love towards us is unceasing. His love is without bars, barricades or blockages, and His love is all-embracing and all-encompassing.

His love is without race or class or creed or national barriers… for He loved the Syrophonecian woman and the Roman centurion without prejudice. His love is without age or popularity… or financial or cultural barriers. He loves both old and young, both rich and poor, both sinner and saint.

His love is even without a pride barrier, for He knelt to wash the feet of His prideful disciples, and He loved the prideful, self-satisfied, rich young ruler. He loves all without discrimination or bigotry, intolerance or favoritism… and the love of Christ continues to stretch to the breadth of understanding.
