Power to Grasp

"And I pray that you, may have power, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge." (EPHESIANS 3: 17B-19A)
Scripture Focus: Ephesians 3:14-19

Some prayers won't be answered until we are with Christ after the consummation of all things. I believe this prayer of Paul is one of those. Paul prays that we would have the power to know the full depths of God's love that surpasses knowledge.

God is infinite; therefore, His love is infinite in its depths. We humans are finite and, in this life, broken - even though we may be redeemed.

A fresh insight into God from the Bible always brings a joyful thrill, a delight, to the heart of a believer. You might call it a Holy Spirit inspired "Eureka!" experience. We will be able to enjoy that fantastic thrill throughout eternity because we will continually know our Savior better. We'll find perfect delight and utter joy in the eternal and infinite love of God.

Paul ends this prayer, "to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." This forever prayer is open to all who believe the gospel. There are no secrets reserved only for the "initiated."

Insight: As Vast As The Universe Is, It Is Minuscule Compared To The Infinite Creator. Contemplate God's Love That Surpasses Of Our Immense Universe.
