Grasping the Depth of Christ’s Love (Ephesians 3:18-19)

"...that you 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."

Main Point: Paul’s prayer highlights that the love of Christ surpasses knowledge, and yet we are called to comprehend its magnitude.

Application: We often limit our understanding of God's love by human measures. But God’s love is boundless, and as we grow in faith, we begin to see how His love reaches into every area of our lives.

Illustration: Imagine trying to measure the ocean with a cup. God’s love is as vast as the ocean, beyond our comprehension.

No matter how many trips you make or how many scoops you take, the ocean remains boundless, far beyond what you can capture or contain. Similarly, God’s love is like the ocean—immeasurable, infinite, and beyond our full comprehension.

Psalm 139 echoes the idea of God’s immeasurable love.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!  How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand.

We cannot fully comprehend His vast love. Yet, we are invited into a close relationship with Him, trusting that even though His thoughts and ways are beyond us, He is always with us. Like exploring the depths of the ocean, we are called to dive into His limitless love, finding comfort in His constant presence.

Just as we are invited to explore the vastness of God's love and His countless thoughts toward us, Ephesians 3:19 reveals the ultimate purpose of this journey…
