For the week ahead: 4.) vs 14 Jesus manifested God’s glory w/clarity never before seen. The phrase “…only begotten from the Father” – is not suggesting there was a time when the Son was not and then was brought into being. The term does not refer to origin, rather, it means UNIQUE, the only one of his kind. 5.) The statement “full of grace and truth” – Represents two of the most significant declarations of our faith: Jesus is the full expression of GOD’S GRACE Jesus is the full expression of GOD’S TRUTH
‘The Word was made flesh”; God became man. It’s here that the profoundest and most unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie It’s from mis-belief/inadequate belief, about the incarnation that difficulties at other points in the gospel story usually spring. But once the incarnation is grasped as a reality, these other difficulties dissolve. How does the reality of the Truths you’ve heard today change or help your perspective of God? Have you gained further insight into the image or “portrait” of God?
6.) vs 16 The phrase “…grace upon grace” means God provides for all His people’s needs. An ABUNDANT supply which is never exhausted; grace in a limitless, never-ending flow. 7) vs 17 The phrase “…grace and truth were REALIZED”-means it came into full realization, or came into BEING with Jesus arrival.
How can you apply the principles of these truths this week?
8.) vs 18 ends with the very intimate expression “…who is in the bosom of the Father” – and expresses Christ’s BOND and ONENESS in relationship with God the Father. 9.) That Jesus has “explained Him”, means Jesus INTERPRETS God the Father for us. He is the answer to the question- “What is God like?”
How might these issues be carried into your prayer life?
