Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Friday January 27, 2023 |
Morning Time: 5:21 AM PST
"And of his fulness have all we received." --John 1:16
These words tell us that there is a fulness in Christ. There is a fulness of
essential Deity, for "in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead." There is
a fulness of perfect manhood, for in Him, bodily, that Godhead was revealed.
There is a fulness of atoning efficacy in His blood, for "the blood of Jesus
Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin." There is a fulness of justifying
righteousness in His life, for "there is therefore now no condemnation to them
that are in Christ Jesus." There is a fulness of divine prevalence in His plea,
for "He is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by Him; seeing
He ever liveth to make intercession for them." There is a fulness of victory in
His death, for through death He destroyed him that had the power of death, that
is the devil. There is a fulness of efficacy in His resurrection from the dead,
for by it "we are begotten again unto a lively hope." There is a fuIness of
triumph in His ascension, for "when He ascended up on high, He led captivity
captive, and received gifts for men." There is a fulness of blessings of every
sort and shape; a fulness of grace to pardon, of grace to regenerate, of grace
to sanctify, of grace to preserve, and of grace to perfect. There is a fulness
at all times; a fulness of comfort in affliction; a fulness of guidance in
prosperity. A fulness of every divine attribute, of wisdom, of power, of love; a
fulness which it were impossible to survey, much less to explore. "It pleased
the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell." Oh, what a fulness must
this be of which all receive! Fulness, 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 thy need supplied; ask largely, and thou
shalt receive largely, for this "fulness" is inexhaustible, and is treasured up
where all the needy may reach it, even in Jesus, Immanuel--God with us.
