Main Idea || There is only one love that is better than life, is enough to meet our needs, satisfy our longings, that will never let go of us: God’s love for us in Jesus. Ephesians 3:14–21 (NLT) ** REVIEW:: Ephesians 3:6–7 (NLT) — 3 Power Prayers — 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. 1. Know Jesus more . 17 …Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. 2. Grasp, express & more of Jesus’s love. 1 John 3:14 (NLT) , 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 (NLT) wide enough to encompass all humanity (especially Jews & Gentiles), long enough to last for eternity, deep enough to reach the most damaged sinner, high enough to exalt us to heaven. 19 …Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 3. Become more Jesus. O Dwell prayerfully on & live daily what you have in Jesus more than what you need Jesus. 20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION 1. What’s the greatest misconception about love that you’ve come across? 2. While reading Ephesians 3:14–21 aloud, notice the phrases Paul uses to pray. If you were to borrow one phrase from Paul’s prayer to use in your own prayers, which would it be, and why? 3. What’s been your experience trying to grasp & experience Jesus’s love (described below)? wide enough to encompass all humanity (especially Jews & Gentiles), long enough to last for eternity, deep enough to reach the most damaged sinner, and high enough to exalt us to heaven. 4. Do you think it’s rare for Christians to love people (both insiders & outsiders) the way Jesus did? If so, why do you think that might be?
