The Fullness of Christ

“And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.

For the law was given by Moses

but grace and truth came

by Jesus Christ.”

(John 1:16-17)

Christ is my Daysman, my Umpire, the Only One Who can “...open His mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.” (Proverbs 31:8) He is the Intercessor for transgressors, Isaiah 53:12. He is the All-powerful Advocate for sinful little children, 1 John 2:1. He is the Great High Priest before my God Who bears my name upon His breast-plate of judgment and also the iniquity of my holy things, as He appears with His priestly crown, that I may be accepted before the LORD, Exodus 28:38. In Him there is a glorious “all fullness” that secures for the elect of God all their sin and guilt put away, every question of sin forever settled, their persons accepted, their needs supplied, their enemies defeated and their Heaven sure.
