He is full—infinitely full!
“The only begotten of the Father—full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
Ah! He is full of grace. Had He not been—I would never have been saved. He drew me when I struggled to escape from His grace; and when at last I came all trembling like a condemned culprit to His mercy-seat, He said, ‘Your sins which are many—are all forgiven—be of good cheer!’
And He is full of truth. Not one of His promises has failed. I bear witness that . . .
never any servant had such a master as I have;
never any brother had such a kinsman as He has been to me;
never any spouse had such a husband as Christ has been to my soul;
never any sinner had a better Savior;
never any mourner had a better comforter than Christ has been to my heart.
I desire none beside Him!
In life—He is my life.
In death—He shall be the death of death.
In poverty—Christ is my riches.
In sickness—He makes my bed.
In darkness—He is my star.
In brightness—He is my sun.
He is my manna in this wilderness.
He shall be Heavenly manna when I come to the Heavenly Canaan.
Jesus is to me—all grace and no wrath; all truth and no falsehood. And of grace and truth, He is full—infinitely full!
Charles Spurgeon.
