THIS BOOK ON THE UTTERMOST LOVE OF CHRIST IS DEDICATED TO MY DEAR WIFE, WHOSE PATIENT CARE OF OUR HOME HAS ENABLED ME TO WRITE SO MUCH AND TRAVEL SO FAR IN HIS SERVICE.
PREFACE The former book on the first twelve chapters of this sublime Gospel was
called, The Life and Light of Men . The title was naturally suggested
by the subject matter of those chapters. We had little difficulty in
finding a title for the present book, which covers, however cursorily,
the remainder of the Gospel. It lay open before us in the opening
verses of the thirteenth chapter, as translated in the margin of the
Revised Version. "Having loved His own which were in the world, He
loved them to the uttermost ." It has been impossible, in the limited space at my disposal, to deal
with these chapters as I would. Indeed, to do so, it would be
necessary to know the length, and breadth, and depth, and height of the
Love of God, which passeth knowledge. Time has been allowed to elapse,
in the hope that the view would be clearer, and the expression more
adequate, of the deep things to which the Lord gave expression. But it
is useless to wait till one is satisfied of the adequacy of one's work,
else life will have run its course before a beginning has been made.
At the end of ten more years, the task would seem still more
impracticable. In the closing chapters I have woven together the narratives of the
four evangelists, so as to give a succinct and connected account of the
last hours of our Lord's life, and especially of His death. It has
been a great delight thus to tread the Via Crucis , which is also the
Via Lucis the Way of the Cross, which is the Way of Life, and Light,
and Love. F. B. MEYER.

LOVE TO THE UTTERMOST Expositions of John xiii. xxi.
I The Laver in the Life of Jesus "He poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet,
and to wipe them with a towel wherewith He was girded." JOHN xiii. 5.
In the court of the Temple there were two objects that arrested the eye
of the entering worshipper the Brazen Altar, and the Laver. The
latter was kept always full of pure, fresh water, for the constant
washings enjoined by the Levitical code. Before the priests were
consecrated for their holy work, and attired in the robes of the sacred
office, they washed there (Ex... Continue reading book >>
