April 2 - Full Of Grace And Truth.

John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
 
The Word was made flesh.
He came as a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, yet He was still the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
 
Luke 1:32-33
“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
 
The Word dwelt among us.
He came and was rejected by His own people, yet all who receive Him become His children.
 
John 1:11-12
“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
 
The Word was full of grace.
He came, and it is no wonder the Scripture tells us specifically that He is full of grace, for by grace we are saved.
 
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
 
The Word was full of truth.
He came and was full of truth, because He is the Truth.
 
John 17:17
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”
 
He was full, because God knew we are empty until we receive Him.
We cannot know grace or truth without Him.
