The Depth of Jesus' Love

Paul prayed that the Christians at Ephesus would understand the depth of Jesus’ love. No matter how deep you have been submerged into sin and rebellion against God, God’s loving arms are able to reach you. Jesus will never give up on you. You are never too low for Jesus.

In August 2000, Rescuers raced to save the crew of a Russian nuclear submarine, which sank during military exercises in the Barents Sea off the northwest coast of Russia. The submarine was approximately 300 ft under water. Due to fierce weather and incredibly cold water, rescue efforts failed. In Oct. 2000 the bodies of the Russian sailors were recovered. A note found on the body of one of the dead seaman, Lieutenant-Captain Dmitry Kolesnikov, indicated there were 23 survivors immediately following two explosions that ripped through the nuclear submarine. However, they were trapped and no one was able to rescue them.

In sin, we are trapped. However, deep we are in guilt and shame. Jesus can reach us.
