YOUR GRACE STILL AMAZES ME... ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER...

I invite you to join me today in practicing the first 3 parts of this months scripture memory. I'll follow it afterwards with a few brief comments.

John 1:14-18

.

14
The WORD became flesh and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His glory, the glory of the ONE AND ONLY,
who came from the Father, full of GRACE and TRUTH.
15

John testifies concerning Him.
He cries out, saying, "This was He of whom I said,
'He who comes after me has surpassed me
because He was before me.'"
.

16 From the fullness of His GRACE

we have all received one BLESSING after another.

17 For the law was given through Moses;

GRACE and TRUTH came through JESUS CHRIST.

SCRIPTURE PHRASE:

"From the fulness of His GRACE, we have all received one BLESSING after another"

COMMENT:

.

It is God's rich GRACE that overflows from Jesus Christ into our lives. Join me tomorrow as we look at this phrase a little deeper!

.

SCRIPTURE PHRASE:

"For the law was given through Moses; GRACE and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ."

.

COMMENT:

I spent some time last night back in the Old Testament. I reminded myself that since Jesus was there at creation, Grace and Truth must have been in Genesis.

.

Evidence? Blessing!

.

The word "grace" is not used in the book of Genesis, but the words bless, blessing, blessed, and blesses do appear 404 times in Genesis. (New American Standard Version - NASB). The WORD shows, that since the beginning of time, God-THE ONE AND ONLY, has poured out one blessing after another on creation.
