Christ's Uttermost Love

"Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end." John 13:1

Christ loves unto the uttermost. His love is not worn out by our faultiness, our dullness, nor even by our sinning. Christ bears with us in all our sad failings; He's patient toward all our weakness, infirmity, and sin. He is our faithful, unfailing friend, though we give Him but little love--and that little mingled with doubts, complainings, murmurings, and ingratitude.

Many of us make it hard for Christ to be our friend; yet He loves unto the end--unto the uttermost!

- J. C. Philpot
