Perhaps it's the Puritan in us, but we are taught not to think about Christ's love in terms of earthly love.

I think I understand what you mean. I wonder if love, all real love, isn't spiritual in some way though.

If you don't mind, could I ask what denomination, if any, you belong to? I hear quite a bit from Protestants about a 'personal relationship with Jesus' that may be something similar to what I'm trying to say here.

I appreciate your views and thank you for your reply.

Yes, I go to a Grace Bible. I guess John MacArthur is our notable scholar.
