John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”  16  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

The Logos of God  became flesh.  Jesus was the embodiment of the heart of God the Father.  Because God’s word conveyed His heart.

That word came and dwelt among us!  Mankind witnessed His glory too!  A glory of closeness with the Father as a Son never before witness in humanity.  This Son was full of grace and truth.

Jesus was full of something!  He was full of favor with God because that is what grace is.  He was of favor as the Son of God.  He was full of truth as the word made flesh!

John testifies that of the fullness of Jesus we have all received and grace for grace.  We are given favor to get favor.  Why so we can experience the relationship with the Father Jesus knows and experienced.  Jesus prayed in John 17 we would share in that same glory as He had with the Father.

The next verses are intriguing as well.  Moses was the one the law was given through.  Moses was the vessel for ushering in the Law Covenant which stood in force until the cross took place.

Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.  Jesus brought us a New Covenant in which grace is our entrance and keeping in relationship with God and truth is our guide in living out our time here on this earth.

Now we need to understand that Jesus came to set the record straight on the Father.  Jesus was the only One who could truly do that because Jesus was the only One who had truly seen the Father and knew Him from the right perspective.  Only the perspective of Jesus regarding the Father is perfect.  So we are wise to take to heart what Jesus says concerning Him and how Jesus walked to reveal Him.  Jesus declared the Father!

Jesus went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.  Jesus was demonstrating what the Father was like and the Father was and will always be good.  He is a gracious and kind Father to those who are His.  He loves with an everlasting love and He sent His Son to forever fix the issue of broken fellowship and relationship with us.  My right standing with the Father is only through Jesus according to the grace He has given to me and my knowing of the Father is to be according to the truth Jesus is and He revealed concerning Him.  Looking unto Jesus the author and the Finisher of our faith!  Jesus only Jesus!  I will forever praise Him!
