In Ephesians 3:14-19 Paul prayed that the Father would grant us to be strengthened through His Spirit “that Christ may make His home in your hearts.” The next step is “that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are.”
Our heart is like a house that has four rooms, and these rooms are the mind, the emotion, the will, and the conscience. Christ has the desire to occupy every room of our heart and every corner of every room. As He makes His home downward in our heart, we become strong to apprehend with all the saints the breadth, length, height, and depth of Christ (Eph. 3:18). These are the dimensions of the universe.…All these dimensions describe the immeasurable Christ, whose dimensions are the dimensions of the universe. He is the breadth, length, height, and depth.*
After we are strengthened and after Christ makes His home is us, we still need to be built together “with all the saints” to apprehend the unlimited dimensions of Christ. We all realize something of Christ and we all should receive more of Christ from others. This mutuality is for now and also is a characteristic of New Jerusalem.
