Grace and truth were
realized through Jesus Christ.
John 1:17
While thinking back on his days with Jesus, John (one of The
Twelve) remembers there was something about Him that was like no one else,
during which time His disciples "beheld His glory." His uniqueness
was that incredible "glory," a glory that represented the very
presence of God. In addition, this glorious One was "full of grace and
truth."
Pause and let that sink in.
It was His glory mixed with grace and truth that made Him
different.
In a world of darkness and demands, rules and regulations,
requirements and expectations demanded by hypocritical religious leaders, Jesus
came and ministered in a new and different way---He alone, full of grace and
full of truth, introduced a revolutionary, different way of life.
Remembering that uniqueness, John adds, "For of His
fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace" (John 1:16).
