May 2020 - Grace and Truth – Manna revised from 2/4/13 by Dorothy
John 1:17 “. . . grace and
truth came through Jesus Christ.”
John, the Beloved
disciple wrote, “The Word became a human and lived among us. We saw his
glory—the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father—and He was full of
GRACE AND TRUTH. John (the Baptist) tells the truth about him (Christ) and
cries out, saying, “This is the One I told you about: ‘The One who comes after
me is greater than I am, because he (Christ) was living before me.’”
Because he (Christ)
was full of GRACE AND TRUTH, from him (Christ) we all received one gift after
another. The law was given through Moses, but GRACE AND TRUTH came through
Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. But God the only Son is very close to
the Father, and he (Christ) has shown us what God is like. (John 1:14-18 ncv)
Jesus said, “For when
you see Me, you are seeing the one (the Father in Heaven) who sent Me. I have
come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in
me will no longer remain in the darkness” (John 12:45-46 qvlab).
We often wonder what
God is like. How can we know the Creator when He doesn’t make Himself visible?
Jesus said plainly to His disciples that those who see Him (Jesus) had seen God
(the Father). If you want to know what God is like, study the person and the words
of Jesus Christ. Why? It is because Christ was full of GRACE and TRUTH, the One
whom you can trust.
As of May 22, 2020
what inspired me? I created the poem or could be a song:
Poem: Grace and Truth
Grace and Truth
is
the One we trust.
Grace and Truth
to believe we must.
Grace and Truth
came thru Christ Jesus.
Grace and Truth,
He came to show us.
Grace and Truth
is when You see Me.
What is Father really
like?
Father in Me is what you see.
So Grace and Truth
comes as a light to shine
In a very dark world.
Therefore we say, Jesus is mine.
(Written by Dorothy Callies, 5/22/20)
May the words of
grace and truth dwell in you richly!
Dorothy
