Do you have too much Jesus?

"And of his fullness have all we received." - Joh_1:16

The fullness of God...

There is a thought that we all need - the complete thing, nothing shy of a full deal. Think about what we have in His fullness. We have a fully God savior. He has the full power, full character, full nature, and full wisdom of God. Our Savior, whom we have received, is fully man. He fully knows our needs, our weaknesses, and our limitations. We have a full justification from sin, not a momentary or partial justification only to be later condemned. We have a full salvation that includes our hope of resurrection. We have a full victory over death, and a full intercession for us. There is a full companionship with the Lord, as He always goes with us where He leads us. There is a full forgiveness and a full redemption, imputing to us a full righteousness. There is a full triumph that is His at His ascension, and a full glory for Him to share with those whom he will. No blessing He bestows is ever partial, but full. He is able to sanctify fully, give full grace, fully protect, and fully guide us. His comfort is fully given in times of stress and affliction. We are fully loved, and fully embraced by the Loving Father through the Holy Son.

We lack nothing in the fullness of Christ - save a full appreciation and a full love in return. It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell - and we have received Him! May we who have be filled with His fullness today, and share it with those who have yet to receive Him!
