When I buy a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop, they ask if I take cream. It is not that they are going to pour the cream in for me. They just want to know if they should leave room. If I am pouring coffee into a guest’s cup, I don’t pour it till it overflows onto my dining room table. I don’t even pour it to the brim lest they burn themselves when they pick up the cup to drink.
But Jesus is filled to the brim and overflowing with Grace and Truth. Every word he speaks is full of Grace and Truth. Every gift he gives us is overflowing with Grace and Truth. Every discipline he administers in our lives is full of Grace and Truth (Hebrews 12). In every circumstance, look for the Grace and Truth in Jesus Christ (Romans 8:28-29).
