Matthew 22:37-39 is the very cornerstone of the entire Bible. For it is the fullness and essence of I AM in every respect. Everything that makes up the entire body and substance that is the complete written Word is both, first ANCHORED, and then wholly FRAMED, by these two greatest of commandments. And that which is framed is "the way, and the truth, and the life" that is LOVE.

     In navigation parlance, the "lines of longitude" are every scripture that proves and makes up Matthew 22:37, which is every scripture that leans man's heart and soul and mind FOREVER UPWARDS towards loving God the Father with all our strength. And the "lines of latitude" are every scripture that proves and makes up Matthew 22:39, which is every scripture that inclines the hands of man FOREVER OUTWARDS to love his neighbour as himself.

     In mathematical terms, which is "the study of relationships", which is precisely what the Bible is, which is a perfect blueprint for relationship with the Father and relationship with man, if we were to plot the two greatest commandments on a Cartesian chart for all to see, the vertical axis (or y-axis) would be Matthew 22:37. The horizontal axis (or x-axis) would be Matthew 22:39. And in terms of measuring the area that the blueprint of relationship covers, this would be illustrated by calculating "the size of the area" created by the x and y axis. The size of the area of the rectangle that is the fullness of "the way, and the truth, and the life" is determined by the product of x and y, being "the surface area of love".

     Matthew 22:37 is factually and visually illustrative of the HEIGHTS to which love can go. In the same sense, Matthew 22:39 is factually and visually illustrative of the LENGTHS to which love can go. If we were to portray this in a three dimensional graph now, adding also a z axis now, plotted side-by-side like this, they are not only the cornerstone, or the point of origin, of love, but they also frame "the way", or the LENGTH (x-axis), and "the truth", or the HEIGHT (y-axis), and "the life", or the WIDTH and DEPTH (z-axis) that is love.

     And visually we can also thus tell that there is NO LIMIT to either the height, or the length, or the width and depth OF LOVE. For just like God is without end, His love has absolutely NO LIMITS. There is no place or person that the love of God doesn't cover, or touch, or reach.

"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." Ephesians 3:18.

To God be the glory, forever and ever. Amen and amen.
