What does God's love mean to you, my reader? Have you opened your heart to that love? Have you believed and been wooed and won by such well-proved love? "The love of Christ which passeth knowledge!" It is beyond knowing fully, and it surely passes rightly telling, too. The tongue fails and lips prove all too feeble to tell out such love.
This is how an old man once learned that love. The great preacher, Chas. Spurgeon, had been preaching to a vast audience. When they had left the building a solitary man of advanced years was found weeping in a seat in the rear of the hall. He was asked what part of the sermon affected him so. "Ali," he sobbed, "I am partially deaf, and did not hear the sermon. But when they sang that hymn, 'Jesus, lover of my soul,' it was too much. I thought, 'If He so loves me, why should I live any longer at enmity to Him?' It's that love that makes me weep.”
Oh, sinner, may that love touch your heart, Live no longer as an enemy of Jesus. He has never been your enemy. He loved you even unto death. No man ever loved like Him.
