He was lambs slain from the foun- dation of the world. His love is seen in his creation. but this is not a love of appreciation as God loves good angels but a love for aliens and enemies. While we were yet enemies Christ died for us. He exemplified good by doing good and this love is not severed from this law of perfect obedience. Love will sacrifice things which to it may not seem wrong. bu. may not be beneficial to Christ, it is not admiration for Christ, delight in his. beautiful life story, but affection that ne desires. You would not saS to Acur mother, l admire your good taste ard your beautiful face and fine management, your admiration would not satisfy her if you did net give her your love.
 The measures of this love, God so loved the ,,orld His love is greater than all the good in all the libraries of the world. His is redemptive love. What is your idea of dimension? A great building is my idea of size. God has built world whose diameter is 4,OQO miles and that is just one oi Gods short measures. What is your idea of time? Hour by hour as a day as thousand years? Gods idea is eternity. What is your idea of dis tance? Why if you had a loved one thousand miles away you would speak or it as being q great way of, but God has given this little world an orbit of 93,000,o00 miles from the cen
 ter. What is your idea of speed Forty miles in an automobile or sixty in train seems pretty fast but Gods light travels 900 miles d second
 All these big things are given to aid us to comprehend his. greatness of love. No wonder we sing There's q wideness in Gods mercy, like the wideness of the sea. The evidence Of his love, He so loved. How can a man deny the truth taught in the gospel of John and throughout the , Bible and call himself a christian i One cannot realize the evidence of his love, save by the cross Your love depends upon reciprocation. Love to ! be sustained must have love in re- tuln. We must believe Gods love for us and return to him our love- Love can die of neglect. Emphasize that word so. So loved that he gave you | salvation by the gift of his son. The test of Abraham's love to God was the son to die. for us when we were still enemies.
