在以弗所书三章，这里基督的爱，是为着一个学生的。保罗是很有学问的，他会不会在文法上有错，写得不通呢？有人读过新约的原文，保罗所写书信，文法都是很深很高的。但是，在以弗所第三章，讲到基督的爱时，保罗的文法错了，写得不合希腊文。当他写到“与众圣徒一同测量基督的爱，”就停住了，（原文没有“是何等”三字，）底下突然的写“长、阔、高、深，”这四个字。好像上下文一点不联结。弟兄姊妹们！这是一个说到基督之爱的真光景。保罗写到这里，不知怎样写才好，只好喊着说，长阿，阔阿，高阿，深阿。他没法形容了。如果一个人用顶好的修辞学来写基督的爱，他所领人会意的，就不知要差多远了。当我们想到基督的爱时，好像头脑在这里没有用处，真不知说甚么才好呢。
“知道”这二字，与“测量”是一样的意思。基督的爱是不可知的，又是可知的。我们一天过一天在这地上要学习一点基督之爱的长、阔、高、深。有一位传道先生，有一天传道时，觉得有一种的压，以致要讲又不能讲，他就请人祷告。当众人都祷告的时候，有一黑人一直祷告说，“宝贝的耶稣！”这位传道人听他这样说到一个多钟头。后来，传道人说，我今天没有道理讲，但是，我从祷告中听得一句，就是“宝贝的耶稣！”
因基督之爱的激励，我们虽然没有见祂，却是爱祂。因为信的缘故，就知道祂是可宝贵的。
信息重点：基督的爱是长、阔、高、深，是过于人所能测度的，却又是我们可以天天经历并认识的。我们需要与众圣徒一同测量这无限的爱，让基督更多安家在我们心里，使我们被神一切的丰满所充满。
应用祷告：主耶稣，求你更多安家在我心里，使我在你的爱里有根有基。带我与众圣徒一同经历并认识你那长、阔、高、深的爱，使我天天更多宝爱你，并被神一切的丰满所充满。阿们。

The Love of Christ — Eph. 3:14-19
In Ephesians chapter 3, the love of Christ is presented in a way that speaks to the heart of a learner. Paul was a highly educated man; would he have made grammatical errors or written incoherently? Those who have studied the New Testament in the original language observe that the grammar in Paul’s epistles is profound and sophisticated. However, in Ephesians chapter 3, when speaking of the love of Christ, Paul’s grammar breaks down; what he wrote does not conform to standard Greek usage. He pauses after writing “to comprehend with all the saints the love of Christ” (the words “what is” do not appear in the original text) and suddenly lists four dimensions: “breadth, length, height and depth.” It appears as though there is no connection to the surrounding context. Brothers and sisters, this reveals the true nature of Christ’s love. At this point, Paul was at a loss for words; he could only exclaim: “Oh, the breadth! The length! The height! The depth!” He found it impossible to describe. If someone were to attempt to write about the love of Christ using the finest rhetoric, the understanding conveyed to others would fall woefully short of the reality. When we contemplate the love of Christ, our intellect seems of no use; we truly do not know what to say.
The word “know” here has the same meaning as “measure”. The love of Christ is unmeasurable, yet measurable As we go through each day on earth, we are to learn something of the length, breadth, height and depth of Christ’s love. One day, a preacher felt a sense of oppression while attempting to deliver a sermon — finding himself unable to speak — so he asked the congregation to pray. As everyone prayed, an Africa-American kept repeating the words, “Precious Jesus!” The preacher listened to him say this for over an hour. Afterward, the preacher said, “I have no sermon to deliver today; yet, I heard one phrase in the prayers — “Precious Jesus!’”
Compelled by the love of Christ, though we have not seen Him, we love Him. Through faith, we know that He is precious.
Message Main Points: The love of Christ is broad, long, high and deep — surpassing what man can measure — and yet it is something we can experience and know day by day. We need to comprehend this boundless love together with all the saints, allowing Christ to make His home in our hearts more fully, and be filled with all the fullness of God.
Dally Prayer: Lord Jesus, make Your home in my heart more fully, that I may be rooted and grounded in Your love. Lead me to experience and know, together with all the saints, Your love that is broad, long, high, and deep, that I may treasure You more day by day and be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen.
