The extent of Christ's love

“... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ...” Ephesians 3:18
Jesus’ love for us truly is unfathomable. Here Paul describes not three dimensions, but four measures of Christ’s love for us.
His love is wide – stretching throughout the world, to all people. There is no-one who is too far away from receiving His love. Jesus died on the cross for all of us, and salvation is open to anyone will just put their faith in Him.
His love is long – He is patient. He does not find pleasure when people die in their sins, but gives people as many opportunities as possible to repent and turn to Him.
His love is deep – He reached down to us in our sinful state, to pull us out of the mire that we had got ourselves into. See Romans 5:8.
His love is high – He raises us up unto salvation. But this raising up is more than just to be with Him in heaven, it is raising us up to sit with Him on His very throne. Sometimes I don’t understand why He would want to do this – considering our failures and inconsistencies. But the answer is found in one word: His love.
