To Know The Love Of Christ
Does it not seem like a contradiction, when the apostle prays that the Ephesians might “comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge,” &c.? How can they know that which passeth knowledge? Why, look at the prayer. It is that they may know, that they may comprehend, with all saints, what is the breadth, Ac. That is, that they may have the saints’ share of that blessed knowledge; that their souls may be full of it.
