John 1:16-18
“We all live off his generous abundance, gift after gift after gift. We got the basics from Moses, and then this exuberant giving and receiving, this endless knowing and understanding— all this came through Jesus, the Messiah. No one has ever seen God, not so much as a glimpse. This one-of-a-kind God-Expression, who exists at the very heart of the Father, has made him plain as day.”
“From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.”
Lord, I’ve always wanted to know your character. After learning of your attributes, I find it all comes down to love. I am amazed to find it so simple! Jesus, thank you for revealing the exuberance of the Father’s love and understanding. Otherwise, I’d still see him as stern, authoritarian and distant. My heart bursts with gratitude. You split the veil so I see you. You satisfy everything I yearn for. In you I find myself actualized, complete, at peace. Praise for your faithfulness in leading me to this understanding. Spirit guide me to share it with others.
