What's the love of God like? Do you ever wonder how much love God really has for the world? John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son...." - So that sounds like a lot of love - to give your one child, one male child that you care for, and want to have relationship with - but then to send him to this earth to be a ransom/ a sacrifice for our sins - that is huge!
Paul describes the love of Jesus like this, "how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:18). There is so much of Christ's love to figure out and yet we can never truly understand how much Christ loved us!
If you have ever been out to the ocean (crazy question if you live on the West Coast), you have seen just a glimpse of the amount of water that is on this earth.....and yet what we see on the surface of the water, is just a fraction of how much is below. So, too we must, over and over be overwhelmed by the depth of the love of Christ.
