What would you say you really need to live and experience life to the fullest?
Grace(charis): that which affords/brings joy, pleasure, delight, loveliness or good will; loving kindness, unmerited favor; the strengthening, empowering affect God’s favor has on us, enabling faith, wisdom, power, love etc…
John tells us Jesus’ glory was made known to us through the fullness of His grace and truth. Vs 14
John also tells us grace and truth were realized in and through Jesus. Vs 17
Realized (genomi): to come into existence or to come to pass or happen; to arise or appear or come upon the stage
So what’s the big deal about grace and truth?
They are essential elements for living our lives surrendered to Jesus as we learn to live our lives in the Kingdom of God here, now and forever.

Grace doesn’t just describe an attitude or position taken by God. Grace is an active and powerful force.
Do you know, in Jesus Christ, God approaches you with deep, rich, constant, unfailing grace?
Taking in the grace of God always empower us, always make us love and live in richer and more meaningful ways.
This means is that anyone, anywhere, anytime can approach God in surrender, regardless of your condition or circumstances – fully assured you will be met with love and not condemnation.
There will never be a gift anyone will ever give you at Christmas or any other time that holds a faint candle to the gift of Grace Jesus came to give us.
As you reflect on the Savior’s birth this Christmas season let’s constantly remind ourselves and each other to inhale grace at every step of the way.
