January 27 Morning Devotional | A Fullness in Christ | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, January 27 | “And of his fullness have we all received.” —John 1:16

This Morning's Scripture Reading: John 1:15-18

“John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”

Devotional Video Transcript:

These words tell us that there is a fullness in Christ. There is a fullness of essential Deity, for “in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead.” (Colossians 2:9) There is a fullness of perfect manhood, for in him, bodily, that Godhead was revealed. There is a fullness of atoning efficacy in his blood, for “the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) There is a fullness of justifying righteousness in his life, for “there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1) There is a fullness of divine prevalence in his plea, for “He is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by him; since he always 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 efficacy in his resurrection from the dead, for by it “he has caused us to be born again to a living hope.” (1 Peter 1:3) There is a fullness of triumph in his ascension, for “when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and received gifts for men.” (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.
A fullness of every divine attribute, of wisdom, of power, of love; a fullness that it is impossible to survey, much less to explore. “It pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell.” (Colossians 1:19)

Oh, what a fullness must this be of which all receive! Fullness, indeed, must there be when the stream is always flowing, and yet the well springs up as free, as rich, as full as ever. Come, believer, and get all your need supplied; ask largely, and you shall receive largely, for this “fullness” is inexhaustible, and is treasured up where all the needy may reach it, even in Jesus, Immanuel — God with us.
