In the Beginning
John begins his gospel with a startling revelation aboutJesus. "1In the beginning was the Word, and theWord was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in thebeginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothingwas made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life wasthe light of men." (John 1:1-4) I can't escape the conclusion that, in these earlyverses, John is talking about Jesus' glory mentioned again in verse 14 -- "wehave seen his glory" -- the verse that...
Glory of the 'Only-Begotten'
John 1:14 seems to be both a summary verse and a pausingreflection before moving on. Notice the places where the word "grace" appearsin this passage. "14 And the Word becameflesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Sonfrom the Father, full of grace and truth.... 16 Forfrom his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 Forthe law was given through Moses; graceand truth came through JesusChrist." (John 1:14, 16-17, ESV) These verses are full of meaning...
Grace upon Grace
Jesus is full of grace and truth. After a parentheticalaside (verse 15), John continues.

There are twoapproaches to understanding it. 1. Accumulation.Most modern commentators take anti as meaning, "in addition to," thusthe NIV translation, "one blessing after another" (NIV).92However, this use o...
As I mentioned, the actual word "grace" (charis)seldom appears in the Gospels. But the concept, the practice of grace ison full display for all to see. Jesus, full of grace and truth, often allowsgrace to overflow onto those around him using the related concept of "love" (agape). Perhaps one of the most beloved statements of God's grace isfound in ...
You may not have thought of it in these terms, but Jesusteaches his disciples about grace as part of his core teaching.
Jesus also teaches grace through his parables. Withouttrying to be exhaustive, I'd like to point to parables in the Gospels where theidea of grace ("God's favor that is unmerited and undeserved") is taughtwithout using the word "grace" at all. These are illustrations of what it meansthat Jesus is "full of grace." It's tempting, by the way, to try t...
We've seen some parables of grace. But the incidentsin Jesus' ministry that clearly display grace outnumber the parables.

Nov 5, 2013 · The book, The DaVinci Code is just a warmed over version of the Gnostic heresy of the first 3 centuries that both Paul and John combated so strongly in the NT. But the controversy and the questions it has raised are not unimportant. The authors of a new book, Reinventing Jesus put it this way: “Attempts to reinvent Jesus are nothing new.
Feb 24, 2013 · 2. Jesus is the creator of all things that exist (1:3). John 1:3: “All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” I’ve already pointed out that if everything that has come into being came into being through Jesus, then clearly Jesus never came into being. He has existed eternally.

Dec 27, 2013 · "All things were made through Him [the Word], and without Him nothing was made that was made" (John 1:3; see also Hebrews 1:1-2).
