Title overflowing with grace
Contents
Today's verse reminds us of several things.
First, only Christ can satisfy the spiritual needs of all saints.
When verse 16 says, “We all receive from his fullness,” it means that we receive only through Jesus Christ, and that the fullness of Jesus Christ can provide us with infinitely (abundantly) what we need. John 6:35 says, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” The grace given by the Lord is always fresh for the saints. He always supplies new strength (Lamentations 3:22-23). In this way, the grace of the Lord always meets the needs of the saints. This is what is called grace upon grace.
Second, Christ is superior to Moses.
In Hebrews 3, we see that Christ is superior to Moses.
“Moses was faithful as a servant to all the house of God” (3:5).
Moses and the Law are merely loyal to their duties as servants.
However, Jesus Christ personally brought the fullness of grace and truth of God as His only begotten Son, not a slave. If we can express that grace and truth in one word, it is the gospel. Jesus Christ Himself will become the sacrifice of atonement in order to save, heal, and heal, and at the same time, as the eternal High Priest, will complete the sin offering once and for all.
Third, there is only one Christ who has revealed the Father.
Because God is a holy and pure Spirit, it cannot be seen in the flesh. In the Old Testament, God sometimes meets people, but He shows them partial rather than complete reality. Even Abraham, who was called “a friend of God,” could not see God. Also, Moses, who “faced the Lord” (Deuteronomy 34:10), could not see the glory of God.
Jesus Christ, who came as a human, fully revealed the divine and pure image of God. Now, just as Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, is in the bosom of God, so now we can enjoy to our heart's content the things that are in God, not those who will die before God's holiness with Jesus Christ.
Then how do those who have received abundant grace live?
1. When you realize the true grace, you will confess that the way of the saints is the way of a stranger.
Every day in your life, you die on the cross and rise up and walk with the life of Jesus Christ. And in the way of preaching this gospel of life, we must live a life that does not consider our own life as precious at all.
2. Give full honor to Jesus Christ in your life.
The true character of a saint is revealed when you give enough honor to Jesus Christ in your life. In other words, the true image of the saints comes out in the form of trying to listen to the word of the Lord and to keep and act according to the word.
