Be Filled

No doubt, many reached a particular point then pushed away from the Thanksgiving table and declared, "I'm full!" That will happen again throughout the month of December as we gather around tables plentiful with delicacies - many only enjoyed at Christmas. Declared or not - full we will be!  John wrote of a divine fullness: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from The Father, full of grace and truth." In the context of humanity, we all understand well the limitations of the physical: we lack and are constrained by many things. Jesus, The One and Only Son of Almighty God - He Who existed from eternity past to eternity future - took on Himself human form; yet He lost nothing of His essential nature! Furthermore, Jesus took physical nature yet assumed none of man's sin nature. Isaiah describes Jesus' appearing: "And the glory and majesty and splendor of the LORD will be revealed." (Isaiah 40:5). The Perfect Fullness of God revealed to man in The Person of Jesus Messiah (Christ) is what we celebrate this Season. In Him there is no diminishing grace nor relative truth! It is a spiritual fullness [of lacking nothing] that all may experience but only through The Messiah. The wonder of the season is Jesus - Know Him and be filled.
