Love to the Uttermost by F. B. Meyer
"Love to the Uttermost" by F. B. Meyer is a theological exposition written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a commentary on the latter chapters of the Gospel of John (chapters 13 to 21), focusing on themes of Christ’s profound love and humility as illustrated through His final actions with His disciples. The work delves deeply into the nature of divine love, emphasizing how Jesus embodies this love in
His teachings and sacrifices. The opening portion introduces the context of the book, highlighting Jesus' poignant act of washing His disciples' feet, which serves as a metaphor for His humility and the nature of true love. Meyer reflects on the profound love Jesus exhibited towards His disciples despite their pride and disputes about greatness among themselves. The author emphasizes the tenderness and depth of Christ's love, addressing the listeners’ need for cleansing and humility even as they approach the divine. This set of ideas establishes the thematic foundation for the book, framing it as an exploration of divine love that challenges readers to understand and embody that love in their own lives.
