The Incarnation: Christ, the Infinite Fulness of God
Series The Incarnation of Christ
By virtue of the incarnation of Christ in the womb of the virgin Mary, He was both 100% God and 100% man in “indivisible fused oneness.” That one little phrase “And the Word was made flesh” screams to us that God the Father loves us and wants to redeem us to Himself through His only begotten Son Who came to reveal Him to us.
The full grace of God and the full truth about the way of salvation were not clearly manifested to us until “the Word became flesh and tabernacle among us.” The Apostle John writing this gospel now calls in another inspired witness, John the Baptist, to lend credence to just Who this glorious Personage was.
Yes, in Jesus Christ we find all the fullness of God. He is “full of grace and truth.” He came to express God's grace. He came to offer God's grace to guilty, perishing sinners.
Christ is truth personified. Unless you have Him in your heart, you don't have truth, because the fullness of truth is in Jesus (Eph. 4:21). God wants us to be filled with all His fullness (Eph. 3:19). Are you a “grace-dispenser” and a “truth-teller”?
