You Have What It Takes
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.
Jesus was full of something. He was full of grace and truth. But there’s something stated that we must not overlook.
John 1:16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
You are full of something too! You are full of His fullness! You have received grace for grace! God gave you favor to receive favor so you can go in favor to make Jesus known!
You have what it takes!
John 1:17 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.
Just as Moses and Jesus were distinguished by what they brought, we can also be known for what we bring.
You have what it takes!
You have family members, neighbors, friends, acquaintances in the marketplace, and coworkers who need to know that God loves them and that His love was manifest when He sent His Only-begotten Son, Jesus, to this earth.
Jesus lived a sinless life, went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, and then gave Himself as a sacrifice for their sin.
Jesus took the whole world's sin on Himself at the cross, where they crucified Him so that any who believed in Him could receive the righteousness of God and be born again!
To prove He was the One sent by God to do this work of salvation and redemption, He rose from the dead after three days, and many days after that, He ascended into heaven with the promise of coming again. Once Jesus was seated on the throne in heaven, The Father released the Promised Holy Spirit to baptize those who believed with power. Jesus is returning soon, and multitudes are in the valley of decision needing someone to share the good news with them that God loves them, Jesus died for them, and they also can be saved.
You believed this good news yourself and have received His fullness! You now stand in His grace! Don’t let the enemy cheat you out of what you are full of! Don’t let him steal your voice, the promises that are yes and amen in Jesus or the privilege of reaching the lost for Christ!
You have what it takes!
