“and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. ” (Ephesians 3:19, NAS)
I have been living in this verse for a while now and there are two things that come to my mind: one is that the love of Christ surpasses knowledge, which means that I can’t understand how much He loves me! And two is that it is His plan for us to be filled up to all the fullness of God.
I just don’t want to get used to reading the Scriptures without diving into the provision that it represents for each one of us. I know that there is much more that we can get when we read the Bible with a hunger to let it really become our life. I really encourage you to read Ephesians 3:14-21. Here it is in a different translation:
“When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3:14–21, NLT)
