John 1:16-18 From his fullness


From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.  No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known. (NRSV)

And the Word took up blood and bones and camped among us, and we marked with rapt attention his glory, glory as a father’s only child – he was full of grace and truth…
… for we all have received from his fulness: grace then grace.
… for although the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ.
Nobody has ever seen God. The only child – God! – who is so close to the Father’s heart –that one has shown us God. (DNW)

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
