A Paradox
Ephesians 3:19
And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.


I. AN IMPOSSIBILITY. "To know which passeth knowledge."

1. In its beginning.

2. In its motive.

3. In its tenderness.

4. In its immutability.

5. In its value.

6. In its future expression.

II. A POSSIBILITY. "To know."

1. In its beginning in us, if not in Him or for us.

2. In its effects, if not in its cause.It is a mountain whose base covers the world, and whose peaks are the foundation of the throne of God; but its many lower heights may now be scaled, and will well repay the climber.

(P. F. J. Pearce.)
