John Bunyan expounded on this verse and its context in his classic All Loves Excelling. He states that "there is nothing that is more helpful, succouring, or comfortable to a Christian while in a state of trial and temptation, than to know that there is a breadth to answer a breadth, a length to answer a length, a depth to answer a depth, and a height to answer a height."The love of Christ for His own is more than a match for any circumstance. Abandon fear! Trust instead!

Thank you for this reinforcing word, bro.
I need to be reminded to constantly rest in Christ's love as my temperament often lends itself to faithlessness and anxiety.
Amen; it's a powerful passage, and was a central part of our worship this morning. :)
