The Depths of the Love of Christ Paul said, "I bow my knee unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." He is talking about more than just a passing "Praise God" or "Thank You Jesus". He is talking of expressing His gratitude on bended knee with deep emotion. Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[c] 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, The Old Testament saints looked forward for the promise of the Redeemer but had not received it (Hebrews 11:39). The prophecies make clear that the mystery of Christ is that God would condescend to us in human form (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6;52:6). He did this so that He could provide the required sacrifice to atone for the sins of the world (Hebrews 9:22). God moved upon a virgin and caused her to conceive and bring fourth His Son into this world who would be known as the Son of God (Luke 1:35). Jesus came to die and redeem us (Galatians 4:4). He ascended to heaven (Ephesians 4:10) and poured out His Spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:33). When we think about it we bow our knees also. Ephesians 3:16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, The highest honor that you and I can obtain is for Jesus to dwell in our hearts and this is accomplished by faith in Him. When we come to Him and accept and believe His Word, we become partakers of His love. Old things pass away, all things become new. The things we once loved we now hate. As we grow in God we try to comprehend Him. I haven't succeeded yet, but neither had the apostle Paul, (Philippians 3:13) but He's a lot bigger to me than He was in times past. I trust that my comprehension of him is bigger tomorrow than it is today. Ephesians 3:18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height — 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. The physical world as we know it is composed of three dimensions: width, length and breath. However when we are in Christ we enter a fourth dimension called depth. This, the natural man cannot comprehend because it is a spiritual dimension. We can only see it by God's Spirit.When Christ dwells in our hearts by His Spirit, our comprehension changes. We see things through spiritual eyes. There are many explanations, some fanciful, of what this fourth dimension is. I may not have a precise definition, bur then I can't explain electricity either. However, when I flip the switch, I know that the current is flowing. The same with this fourth dimension that the apostle calls the "depth."
