‘To know Christ’s love that surpasses information.’ Ephesians 3:19 CSB

Princess Alice was Queen Victoria’s daughter. When her son contracted an incurable illness referred to as black diphtheria, the medical doctors quarantined the boy and warned his mom to steer clear of him lest she will get contaminated. But she couldn’t. At some point she overheard her son whisper to his nurse, ‘Why doesn’t my mom kiss me anymore?’ His phrases melted her coronary heart, and she or he ran to him, smothering him with kisses. Inside just a few days, she died and was buried. What would compel a mom to threat her life for her baby? Love! Now stand on the cross and ask what would lead Christ to do one thing even better for us? Love! Writing to the believers in Ephesus, Paul says, ‘I need you to know, Christ’s love surpasses information.’ You’ll be able to hint the best motion of Christ to his biggest attribute – love. Maybe the individuals who ought to have liked you didn’t, and those that may have liked you, wouldn’t. Possibly you have been left on the hospital, or left standing on the altar, or left with an empty mattress and a damaged coronary heart. Whatever the trigger, you have been left with the query, ‘Does anyone love me?’ And as we speak, Christ solutions unequivocally, ‘I do!’ The reality is, His love for you ‘is simply too great to be measured’. Hymn author Charles Gabriel wrote: ‘I stand amazed within the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, And surprise how he may love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean. How marvellous! How great! And my music shall ever be: How marvellous! How great! Is my Saviour’s love for me!’ God couldn’t love you greater than He does proper now, and that may by no means change.
