Full of Grace and Truth
John 1:17
While thinking back on his days with Jesus, John (one of The Twelve) remembers there was something about Him that was like no one else, during which time His disciples "beheld His glory." His uniqueness was that incredible "glory," a glory that represented the very presence of God. In addition, this glorious One was "full of grace and truth."
Pause and let that sink in.
It was His glory mixed with grace and truth that made Him different.
