Consolation for the world through Christ (III)

The Word was God and became flesh

THE Word became flesh; that is, God was united with a human nature in one Person, and was truly man and truly God who lived in history as Jesus Christ.

Verse 14: "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. Then in verse 17, this Person called "the Wordl/ is named: "For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christl/. So Jesus Christ is "the Wordl/ who was in the beginning with God and who is God.

If you receive him, you become a child of God and enjoy everlasting waves of grace. Combine verses 12 and 16: /But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. ... For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon gracel/. If you receive him for who he really is, you are granted to be a child of God and that means receiving "grace upon gracel/ that corresponds to his fullness which is an infinite fullness. And so the waves never cease. And so our exultation in Jesus Christ will never cease. His fullness is inexhaustible and it will overflow with waves of grace forever and ever and never run dry or become stagnant.

This is because, as Colossians 2: 9 says, "In Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form". His fullness is the fullness of "deity". Therefore, it is an infinite fullness, and the grace that flows from infinite fullness is infinite grace. Therefore, we will exult in Jesus Christ with ever-new and ever-increasing joy forever and ever.
