Echoes from the S. S. 3

OLD Bro. R. had been talking to the children a little before the regular lesson began, and as I came into the room I heard him say, “You see it is not our love to God.” “No, sir,” answered Grace, “We love Him because He first loved us.” How happy it made me to hear the dear girl say that She had never openly confessed Christ, but I felt sure that she included herself in that “We,” who have learned something of His love. “His great love wherewith He loved us.” Eph. 2:44But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (Ephesians 2:4). “His everlasting love.” Jer. 31:33The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. (Jeremiah 31:3). Love that was stronger than death—love that many waters could not quench. Do you know that love that “passeth knowledge?” Eph. 3:1919And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19). E. G. B.
