Listen "That Mighty Grasp "
Episode Synopsis
The Apostle Paul writes to the Ephesians, “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)
Notice that the Apostle’s prayer is for us to have power to grasp the immensity of Christ’s love for us. Perhaps our grasp has far more to do with keeping a firm grip on the truth that it is Jesus who has a hold on us. Here’s a few poetic lines well worth memorizing:
“Let me no more my comfort draw from my frail hold of thee in this alone rejoice with awe — thy mighty grasp of me!” John Campbell Shairp (1871)
