“From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another.”
John 1:16 (NLT)
John begins his Gospel by revealing Jesus as the living expression of God—the message, not just a word. Everything God wanted to say to humanity, He said through Jesus. The Word became flesh to show us who the Father truly is. Every created thing exists through Him, and every life finds its source in Him.
When Jesus entered the world He created, many didn’t recognize Him, but those who believed were given the right to become children of God. Through His life, we see love and faithfulness that never fail. John says we have received grace upon grace—a continual flow of God’s favor and goodness through Jesus.
God’s plan wasn’t only to save us from something, but to save us to something. He pours out one gracious blessing after another so that we can live fulfilled and fruitful lives that glorify Him.
From Christ’s fullness, we are fulfilled. We are complete, lacking nothing. Stay close to the Father’s heart today and receive the abundance Jesus freely gives.
