We know that Christ's love for us is indescribable. He loved us to the end, and beyond!
But what of the Father's love for us? His love for us is measured by His making us His Sons, with inheritance with Christ and with rights and privileges everlasting before His face.
But Jesus described a greater measure of the Father's love for us - that He gave His only begotten Son as our substitute, as God's Lamb for sinners slain.
Therefore, we cannot know the depth of the Father's love for us before we know the depth of His love for His dear Son.
The Father's love for His Son is infinite and eternal. Jesus has always been cherished in His Father's bosom, a close and intimate and complacent holding tight unto Himself.
And yet, with that perfect love of the Father for the Son, He delivered Him to the cruel cross for our offenses! How the Father must have pitied His darling Son as He hung in agony and shame - and yet He turned His back upon Him as He bore our sins! Even the Sun hid his face, and shut his glories in at that sight.
But the Father delivered up His Beloved Son because of the love of each Person of the Trinity for God's chosen people!
Thus, the Father's love for us is entangled in His love for His Son, and we are entangled in the mutual and reciprocal, infinite, eternal love of the Persons of the Godhead for each other.
Paul in Ephesians 1 decribes how, united with Christ and made one with Him, we His people are "accepted in the Beloved" - confirming the Father's love for us is entangled in His love for His Son!
"Thy Death hath brought to light the Father heart, and ours hath won!"
