DAILY READINGS: Exodus 4; Psalm 34; Acts 1

The love of Christ. Eph. 3:19; Rom. 8:35; 2 Cor. 5:14

Paul uses this poignant phrase only these three times in the New
Testament. In Ephesians, he challenges us to explore the limitless
dimensions of a sacrificial love “which passeth knowledge.” His love
is infinite. In Romans, having listed those things which might separate
us from Him, he affirms that Christ’s love is indivisible, eternally
binding us to Him. In 2 Corinthians, the apostle reminds us of the
motivating power of the love of Christ. It is irresistible, moving us to
serve such a loving Saviour, and to pour out our love in worship to
Him. —S. McEachern

Stronger His love than death or hell; its riches are unsearchable;
The firstborn sons of light desire in vain its depths to see;
They cannot reach the mystery, the length, the breadth, the height. —C. W.
