Inspired by . . . the Hope of His Coming Vol. 15
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. John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying,
This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
for He was before me. And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
(Joh 1:14-18 KJV)
I’m sure you’ve heard the term, “Actions speak louder than words.” No one lived this truth more powerfully than Jesus Christ.
Not only did He prove it throughout His ministry, and so profoundly by His death, but He proved it first at His birth.
He is the Word made flesh. The Incarnation; the act of clothing with flesh.
The Divine, descended from glory to dwell among us; the corrupt, the rebellious, worms of the earth. Sinners. And He was full of grace and truth.
Our two greatest needs.
He received grace and truth from the Father, that He might give . . .
. . . to us at the hour of our
greatest need.
