Jesus Is Enough!
John 1:11-18 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God– 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.'” 16 From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.
Jesus possesses complete and infinite fullness of all that is good, glorious and blessed. Upon salvation, he shares this fullness and abundance with all those who believe. Jesus is enough! He gives us everything we need. All that we might strive for in life to fill that emptiness is nothing compared to his actual provision.
However, sometimes we might not feel full. Even after salvation, we might still feel something is lacking. What can I do to enjoy the fullness of Christ?
- Check your feelings. Feelings can lie. Faith trumps feelings.
- Understand, we can’t DO anything to add more of Christ’s fullness to our lives. We are complete. We can’t earn his fullness.
- Know that to desire more of Christ’s fulness, when he has already given us everything, reveals discontentment with his provision and spiritual immaturity on our part.
- Meditate regularly on all Christ has given you and his promises.
- Thank God for his blessed provision of all things in Christ.
