Lovely way to describe Jesus' love...

[ImmanuelWithUs]

I'm sure everyone's struggled with describing the wonders of our glorious God to a non-believer. After all, how does one argue someone into loving Jesus? When I read this quote from Mathew Henry, I had to share it because it really hits the nail on the head pertaining to this subject:

"Even the most subtle disputant cannot convince the man who has tasted honey that it is not sweet."

Isin't that perfect?! I just had to share that. God bless you all!

Yes it is, I call it the difference between religious fantasy and spiritual reality. I wasn't much of a science student but I do remember studying the principles of gravity and remember some calling it a theory. But when I fell off of a ladder one day that theory became a reality and I've never doubted gravity since.

Look at what Paul says about Christ's love.

Ephesians 3:14-21
When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen.

Thank you for sharing this ImmanuelWithUs,

I must admit to being rather partial to a bit of honey... so this hits home sweetly.

Bless you ....><>

Dear ImmanuelWithUs

There is a depth, a matchless depth, in Jesu's love. There is a luscious sweetness in the fellowship with Him. You must eat, or you will never know the flavour of it. Oh! taste and see that the Lord is good!
