I Have Been Crucified With Christ It Is No Longer I Who Live But Christ Who Lives In Me And The Life I Now Live In The Flesh I Live By Faith In The Son Of God Who Loved Me And Gave Himself For Me
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. These are some of the simplest words imaginable, and yet some of the most profound. We teach them to the smallest of children. Still, the most mature in the faith only scratch the surface of their grandeur and grace.
Jesus loves me is not a basic truth to master and then move on to bigger and more complicated things. Rather, it is an almost unspeakably great reality, one into which were first introduced as a child or at some point in our journey, and then a truth into which we dive deeper and deeper without end.
The love of Jesus is an ocean, accessible enough for a child to wade into at the shore, and yet massive enough that it will take eternity to explore and swim in deeper in it.
Praying for the Ocean
The apostle Paul prays for our experience of the ocean in Ephesians 3:1619. He asks God,
that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
What does it mean to be filled with all the fullness of God? To truly know that Jesus loves me.
