Full of Grace and Truth

In the holy words before us today, it is clear that Jesus Christ is full of grace and truth. While this is a wonderful contemplation it is also a revealing one, for we are not full of grace and truth. In God’s mercy, He provides one who is full of the things we lack. Take note of the context: In the prologue (1:1-18) John explains who Jesus is and where He came from. Each verse in the Prologue is packed with carefully crafted language to explain Him. Then from 1:19 to the end of the Gospel, John shows us, in graphic terms, what Jesus did. What He did cannot be understood without first knowing who He is. John identifies many of His divine characteristics in the prologue. In this message, we will cover 1:14-18 which further explains five of the characteristics of the glory of His grace and truth.
