Love Christ
"To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God," Ephesians 3:19.
The love of Jesus is so much more than we are ever able to understand with our minds for the love of Christ passes all knowledge. We may be of the opinion that we understand, but we do not. we may think that we know, but we do not. His love for us is greater than all of our knowledge combined.
Does Jesus love you? Of course He loves you, and he loves you with a far greater love than anyone else has ever had for you. He loves you far more than your own Mother loved you, far more than you ever loved anyone else. He loved you so much that He was prepared to die for you.
Whatever you can picture in your mind as being the biggest thing ever, whether it is the United States of America, or the vastness of Russia, the great oceans, the depth of the seas, the height of Mount Everest, whatever it is that you feel is awe inspiring to you, take that and multiply it a thousand times, and it still does not come close to the size of the love that Jesus has for you.
Even though you have sinned and maybe continue to sin, Jesus still loves you and holds His arms out wide towards you, waiting to embrace you. Even though you may feel that Jesus could never love you for the wrongdoing that you have performed in your life, believe me in that I say that Jesus still loves you and waits for the day that you will come to Him.
We are bonded to Jesus in the love that He has for us. Nothing can ever seperate you from the Love of Jesus. The only thing that may be keeping you apart from Jesus is the fact that you have not invited Him into your heart, to be your Lord and Saviour, your friend, your Master and your Keeper. Invite Him into your heart and begin to feel that inexplicable love that you will never be able to understand with your knowledge, but which you will know with your heart.
Bonded in the love of Jesus.
Colossians 3:14 "But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection."
Colossians 3:24 "Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ".
The bond of perfection is love. Perfection is Christ Jesus and in order to be complete we should have a bond of love with Him. A bond can be defined in this context as being a uniting force to tie together. When we decide to fill ourselves with love, we have a uniting force with Jesus and become tied together with Jesus.
How great is the love of Jesus for us and therefore just how powerful is the bond that forms between Jesus and us? This is answered for us in Ephesians 3:17-20
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."
The love of Jesus passes all knowledge. Just think how much knowledge is actually available in the world today. Have a look at the amount of knowledge available on the internet which has over 250 000 new web pages added to it daily. This is all just a pin prick compared to the size of the love that Jesus has for us and with which we are bonded to Him.
Think of Mount Everest, the highest place on earth, or the bottom of the deepest ocean. We can only wonder what lies down at the bottom of the deepest ocean as no one has ever been able to go there, but yet the heights of Mt Everest and the depths of the deepest ocean are minute in comparison with the bond that we have with Christ Jesus through His love for us.
Jesus is love and wants to become bonded with you in that love which is greater than anything that you could ever imagine. There is nothing that is bad enough or big enough or powerful enough to be able to prevent you from being bonded with Jesus through His Love. Nothing you have ever done before is stronger than His love for you. Nothing that you have ever even thought of is greater than His love for you. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to become bonded to Him through his love. Become bonded to Him today in love .
