The Love of God goes beyond all barriers, beyond all hopes and dreams. It is too vast to comprehend, but with that being said we can experience His love in the fullest measure through Christ Jesus. Jesus gave us the greatest gift of all, which is access to the Father's love.
Paul describes here in Ephesians 3: 17-19 that Jesus makes His home in our hearts through faith, and the relationship that Jesus has with us is established by the love of the Father. Jesus is the intermediary (our High Priest) between us and the Father.
That love is further established and rooted in community with our fellow brothers and sisters of faith, that way we may explore together how deep the Father's love for us goes.
That is how the ministry (or service) of love is expressed that we may give away of the Father's love we have encountered that others might benefit. When we do this our community of love expands.
Oh, that together we may know how wide and how long, how high and how deep is Christ's love for us.
Be Blessed;
