Ephesians Lesson 24 of 39 part 3

Ephesians 3:19

"And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."

When we are enabled to comprehend with the saints the length, breadth, depth and height of love with the fulness of the Godhead and the ontological essence of Christ's Spirit restored within us we are able to see and heard clearly Titus 1:15 and its meaning then becomes simple and clear.

Titus 1:13-16 “This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. For to the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” 

As we have been saying the greatest understanding we can gain is the fact that all of Jesus' actions and language of speaking were directed to the returning of all mankind to God as the first Adam had in Genesis 2. For our bodies are but food for our spirit when our spirit is re-birthed and becomes one with God again. This is why both He and John the Baptist opposed the Hebrew priest's because they were evil as serpents and twice dead, they had rejected God's Spirit. The Spirit that directed Christ and is to direct us as well, His ontological essence which has been lost to us at the fall. Hear what Jesus' responce was to the Jewish priest's.

Luke 11:39-45 "The Lord said to him, Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. You fools, did not He that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as you have; and, behold, all things are clean to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to Him, Master, thus saying you reproach us also." 

Jesus came to return us all to the place which Adam had as found in Genesis 2 and it is from this point that Paul all so speaks and this is why so many do not understand him.

Ephesians 3:19a

"And to know the love of Christ,..."

Remember when we were following the "unsearchable riches of Christ?" And we mentioned, "How can you and I, mere mortals, comprehend the fact that the Eternal Sovereign Creator God condescended to be born of an ordinary little lady in Israel, to be born under the humble circumstances of Bethlehem, and then go through 30 years on this old planet for the sole purpose of going to that Cross." Now listen that is beyond mere human comprehension. But what did it? "The Love of God!" How God Loves the human race! And how He paid the very extent of the very riches of heaven to accomplish a plan of redemption! Which will bring only a few through the gate into His Salvation program. Those who become the willing to do as Jesus as the Son of man did as our example. Those who hear the Spirit and respond to Him with a yes, LORD!
