“… to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.”

(Ephesians 3:18)

“…明白基督的愛, 是何等長濶高深.”  (弗3:18)

I remember quoting this Bible verse at the singspiration last week, and being mesmerized myself by the adjectives “長,濶,高,深”.

To my surprise (?) I came accross a very good explanation to that verse this morning:

Width in the Bible is the breadth of the whole earth (Job 38:18).

Length (length of days, Psalm 21:4) reminds us of time.

Depth is the depth of the pit of sin from which Christ drew you (Psalm 21:4).

Height is the height to which Christ has raised you – seated with Him forever at the right hand of God, sharing His throne.

As human beings, our knowledge and understanding of our Creator is so very, very limited.

If not for the work of the Holy Spirit to give light to His Words and promises, how can we ever begin to “grasp”?
