The One: AdventНамуна

In Paul’s letters, he reflects on God’s love. He teaches about how it extends beyond the Jews to include the Gentiles and how nothing at all can separate God’s people from its measures. In one letter, Paul recognizes that Jesus’ love is so massive that people need supernatural help to understand and rely on it. Paul then prays for his readers to be strengthened with God’s Spirit.

Read:

Ephesians 3:14-21, Romans 8:38-39

Reflect:

Read the passages of the day carefully. Pay attention to the words and metaphors Paul uses. What do you observe?

Have you ever wondered if you (or someone else) have sinned too much to receive the love of God? Our sin might be tall and deep, but Jesus’ love is taller and deeper Or in other words, where there is more sin than we can recall, Jesus’ love can forgive even more than we can fathom. We cannot earn God’s love; we can only humble ourselves to receive it. Who else needs a reminder of this good news today?

Turn your reflections into a prayer to God from your heart. Ask God to give you strength to understand and trust Jesus’ love for you and for others.
