Scripture Reading: John 1:16-17
From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses. Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.
Devotional: The fullness of God's Grace, God's gift to the world is given us in Jesus Christ. Issuing out of that gift are innumerable blessings, not the least of which is the Truth. Absolute complete Truth is found in Jesus Christ. We long for Truth as parched land longs for water for we are inundated with falsehoods, exaggerations, full and half truths to the point where trust, faith and reliance are hard to rely upon. But absolute Truth, the Truth that would prove its reliability on the cross is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ. Though all may fabricate and deceive, the self-sacrificing love of God comes to us as a trustworthy gift in Jesus Christ.
God's Grace has been expressed to us through Moses in the law, but the gift of righteousness and the Truth of God come though God's gift of Jesus Christ.
He is the sure foundation, the solid rock of absolute, unqualified Truth. Each of us, all of us, can bet our lives on it.
Prayer: Come, Lord Jesus.
