FULLNESS
And of His fullness have we all received...
John 1:16
There is a fullness in Christ. There is a fullness of atoning potency in His blood, for “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin: (I John 1:7).
There is a fullness of justifying righteousness in His life, for “there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).
There is a fullness of divine persistence in His supplication, for “He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).
There is a fullness of victory in His death, for through death He destroyed “him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14).
There is a fullness of strength in His resurrection from the dead, for by it we are “begotten...again unto a lively hope” (I Peter 1:3).
There is a fullness of triumph in His ascension, for when He “ascended on high, He led captivity captive...and received gifts for men” (Psalm 68:18 and Ephesians 4:8).
There is a fullness of blessings of every sort and shape: a fullness of grace to pardon, of grace to regenerate, of grace to sanctify, of grace to preserve, and of grace to perfect.
There is a fullness at all times: a fullness of comfort in affliction, a fullness of guidance in prosperity.
There is a fullness of every divine attribute: of wisdom, of power, of love. “It pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell” (Colossians 1:19).
Oh, what a fullness this must be of which all receive! Come, and find all your needs supplied. Ask largely, and you will receive largely, for this fullness is inexhaustible, it is stored up where all the needy may reach it-in Jesus Immanuel, “God with us” (Matthew 1:23)
