1 Corinthians 13:8, Love Never Ends

 

In 1 Corinthians 13.8, we read, "Love never ends."  There are no finite limits or dimensions to the risen Christ.  Christ can not be put in a box.  We can not get our arms around Christ in any way, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, or theologically.  Jesus, however, can and will get his arms around us, and the ways He does this are as numerous as the stars in the heavens or the grains of sand along the sea.   

 In other words, when Jesus says that "no one comes to the Father except by me," He is not making a restrictive or limiting statement, which is the way we in our sinfulness and narrow-mindedness tend to interpret it.  To the contrary, He is opening to us a vast and rich trove of possibilities that we cannot even begin to imagine, and which He offers to us on a daily basis, whether we believe in Him or not.  At some blessed point He will reveal Himself to us, and then we must choose whether to follow Him or not.
