It is not only that Christ did great things for us, but He gave Himself: beyond this love could not go. The same love which made Him give Himself for us, is now occupied in separating us from everything that could separate us from Him. Nothing can express more the profound depths of the love of Christ for us than this, that His present occupation in heaven is devoted to removing everything that would cause distance between us and Him. John 13:5-12, is expressive of His present service for us: I am going to glory, He says, but I am going there to serve you. My mind's attention will be fixed on you, my heart's affection will be set on you, and I shall take care that nothing shall break the intimacy that subsists between us. I shall make it my business there to detach you from everything that would separate you from myself. He sets us apart from all that would hinder communion and prevent any break between us and Himself. He takes care that nothing interferes with the intimacy, that there may not be the slightest reserve.
Such is His love for us.
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."
