To the "Endth" Degree

He [Jesus] is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
1st John 2:2 ESV

I know the true expression is actually 'to the nth degree'... meaning to the absolute most. Limitless. Immeasurable. Unfathomable. 

According to www.dictionary.com, the expression 'to the nth degree' comes from mathematics, where to the nth means “to any required power” (n standing for any number). 

When I read our Promise for Today, it hit me on a new level about how wide, how deep Christ's love for us was/IS to be the payment for us - to forgive ALL the sins of the whole world. Think about that. Seriously... the whole world - everyone - for how many years?  And according to Matthew 28:20, ASV, Jesus promised, ...and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  

To any required power - that's love to the "endth" degree...

Prayer:

Father,

         We pray as Paul prayed for the Ephesians, For this reason I bow my knees to You, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that You would grant us, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of You, O God.
            Now to You who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to You be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
