THE END

I’ve been saying this for several years now, “If you need a new beginning in anything, Jesus is. If you need an end to anything, Jesus is.”

                In John 1:14 we find, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (NASB)  Jesus is one of a kind filled, complete within grace and truth.

                Verse 16 says, “For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace.” The word of in Greek is “out of” meaning out of the very center or essence. The word fullness is as verse 14 meaning complete.

                Since He is complete and we have received out of His completeness we then too are complete in His essence. Peter confirms this in I Peter 1:15-16 which says, “but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all behavior because it is written you shall be Holy, for I AM Holy.”

                He whose mind, whose thinking, whose thoughts are stayed, placed on Him will be at perfect peace (shalom) because he places his trust in Him. Is 26:3. Isn’t that the end we are all looking for? Our seeking is ended when we find ourselves, our soul in Him for He is our rest within grace and truth.
