"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."
Here we have the sacred love against the profane. God loved the world so He sent his Son who epitomised the full measure of his Holiness. This holy aspect is revealed in sending him to the house of his friends where he was wounded only indicates the profane aspects of a fallen man. 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends 'is a fitting commentary brotherly love' but cannot be yet called as sacred love. On the other hand wht was the son? Jesus Christ knew no sin and did no sin. His sacrifice on the cross consequently is perfect. When he calls any man friend it is a big deal. Heaven came down as it were for which the cross is a badge of honour. In wearing it it is your life that is on the line, "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me./And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."(Mt.10.37-38; Jn 15.11)
Jesus is the lord from heaven,"and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly." In his love there is a world to be discarded and an heavenly world to which we are called. Heresy is to deny this love:"He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love." We belong to this house and to sup with him, forever,' But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end."(Heb.3.6; The Song. 2.4)
Many waters cannot quench this love over which it is not heaven and the earth but holiness of God serving as a canopy."Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." This union must deliver and it is what we have in the day of regeneration,"Truth shall spring out of the earth
