"To know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge" may seem to be a paradox, but there may be the knowing more and more of that which surpasses knowledge. He supposes us launched upon that sea where there is no shore: We can never reach the end of His love.
Yet the Apostle speaks of knowing the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, "that ye may be filled to all the fullness of God."
And it is for the saints now that the Apostle thus prayed. It is the heart's condition and real growth in communion with God that is before us. [12]
