"We have all received from his fullness," John 1:16.
From whose fullness? From the fullness of God's son. Fullness of God's Word. From the Word that became a human being. What was the fullness that filled him? Grace. Yes. And truth. Grace and truth. Who has received? We have. (We who? we who received him.) What did we receive from the fullness of God's son? Grace. What did we receive from the Word that became human? Grace upon grace. Generosity! and more generosity. Moses gave the Law. But grace and truth came by ... Yes, that's the real deal ... grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. God's son. God's Word. Word that became human.
When we meet a brother or sister today, we joy in the overflow of God's generosity. And, together, we give thanks for his immeasurable grace outflowing into the healing of our souls.
