Loved to Perfection
Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. (John 13:1)
This fact is essentially a promise; for what our Lord as He is, and what He was to those with whom
He lived on earth, He will be to all His beloved so long as the moon endureth.
"Having loved": here was the wonder! That He should ever have loved men at all is the marvel. What
was there in His poor disciples that He should love them? What is there in me?
But when He has once begun to love, it is His nature to continue to do so. Love made the saints "his
own"—what a choice title! He purchased them with blood, and they became His treasure. Being His
own, He will not lose them. Being His beloved, He will not cease to love them. My soul, He will not
cease to love thee!
The text is well as it stands: "to the end." Even till His death, the ruling passion of love for His own
reigned in His sacred bosom. It also means to the uttermost. He could not love them more: He gave
Himself for them. Some read it, to perfection. Truly He lavished upon them a perfect love, in which
there was no flaw, failure, unwisdom, or unfaithfulness.
Such is the love of Jesus to each one of His people. Let us sing to our Well-beloved a song.
