+II. But while it is true that the love of Christ passeth all knowledge, it is equally true that it is to be known by us.+--To know the love of Christ is: 1. _To recognise it in its various forms and expressions in our constant meditations._ And where shall we turn and not be met by this, to us, most important subject? How delightful an occupation, to track all the streams of mercy up to their source. We are surrounded by the proof of the love of Christ. Let us see to it that the blinding veil be not on our heart, that our eyes be not holden that we should not know Him. We are called to know the love of Christ. Let us accustom ourselves to reflect upon it, to see it in its various forms and results; and then shall our meditation of Him be sweet. 2. To know the love of Christ is _to perceive it in its adaptation to our own personal condition._ 3. To know the love of Christ is _to experience it in its practical results._ He offers you pardon, and the offer is a proof and manifestation of His love; but properly to know it pardon itself must be accepted and embraced. This is to know his love. Seek it, and you must find it. Rest without it, and you are but "as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal." 4. To know the love of Christ we must _put forth those efforts through which that love is appointed to express itself in our daily experience._ +Lessons.+--1. _The rejection of love, especially of redeeming love, involves the deepest guilt._ 2. _Remember that the grace is common to you all.--R. Watson._ _The Unknown and Known Love of Christ._ +I. There are some respects in which the love of Christ passeth our knowledge.+--1. In its objects; so unworthy and degraded. 2. In its sufferings; love to the death. 3. In its care. 4. In its blessings. 5. In its degree. It is the love of an infinite nature. +II. There are some respects in which the love of Christ may be known.+--1. Our views of it may be clearer and more consistent. 2. Our views of it may be more confidential and appropriating. 3. Our views of it may be more impressive and more influential.--_G. Brooks._ _The Transcendent Love of Christ._ +I. This representation must be confirmed.+--1. This love is Divine. 2. Consider the objects it embraced. 3. The means by which it manifested itself. 4. The blessings it secured. +II. The perception the Christian may acquire of this love, notwithstanding its Divine infinitude.+--1. It is the great interpreting principle which he applies to all the tremendous facts of redemption. 2. The sacred element and incentive of all piety--the theme of contemplation, the ground of confidence, the motive of obedience. 3. The impulse and model of all benevolence and zeal.
