Morning Devotional
By C.H. Spurgeon
"And of his fulness have all we received." —
Jhn_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
fulness 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.
