Ephesians 3:17-19(NIV)
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may
have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know
this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God.
Paul wants us to be solidly connected to each other in love.
More than being able to understand all the unfathomable mysteries of the
universe or the deep teachings of Scripture, knowing and sharing the love of
Christ enables us to bring God's full blessing to others. While knowledge can
be good, love is greater still. While power can be helpful, love is more
helpful still. While experience can teach us many things, love teaches us to
use what we know to bless. Let's be a people whose lives are lived in the
environment of love. (cf. 1 Cor. 13)
Thought for today:
Do I seek to know God beyond the physical?
