Read, The Depth of Love For Us (pages 7-9). Today Pastor John unpacks four ways in which the depth of
Christ’s love for us is revealed. John Piper's ebook, Love to the Uttermost: Devotional readings for holy week can be downloaded for free here.
1). We know the depth of someone’s love for us by what it
costs him. What did Christ’s love cost Him? Read Psalm 22:1-7, 12-18. This
psalm is a Messianic Psalm that prophesied in advance what Christ would think
and experience on the cross.
2). We know the depth of someone’s love for us by how little
we deserve it. Read Romans 3:10-18 and 5:6-8. How little do we deserve His
love?
3). We know the depth of someone’s love for us by the
greatness of the benefits we receive in being loved. Read Psalm 103:1-13. What
are some of the benefits afforded to
us through Christ?
4). We know the depth of someone’s love for us by the
freedom with which they love us. Read Ephesians 25-33. How has Jesus freely
loved and pursued you?
