For some reason it <I>appears</I> as if the embedded comment form is not working, but the full page form is, so I'm changing it temporarily.<BR/><BR/>Gary's comment:<BR/><BR/>Great post Joel! Like the others, I can't hear enough about God's grace. I only had one thing to add...in John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the Truth." In John 1:14, it says that Jesus was "full of grace and truth." I can't help but to equate "I am the Truth" to "full of truth." So Jesus doesn't just give grace, He is Grace. He is grace personified. It kind of gives fresh meanings to other verses like John 1:16,<BR/><BR/>From <I>the fullness of his grace</I> Jesus we have all received one blessing after another.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-52279201541617064802008-11-03T09:28:00.000-06:002008-11-03T09:28:00.000-06:00"I cannot hear enough of this kind of thing."Ron, ..."<I>I cannot hear enough of this kind of thing.</I>"<BR/><BR/>Ron, one of the things my friend Mike and I have often repeated on our program is that we need to be constantly reminded, over and over again of all these great truths of the grace of God. It get into our heads and into our hearts bit by bit, and it really is a lifelong journey of growing in it and appropriating it.<BR/><BR/>That's one reason why I'm so thankful for the various people online who are also along on this journey. I find great encouragement in the thing people write. Like you, I can't hear enough of it!Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-8855512502459999362008-11-02T22:49:00.000-06:002008-11-02T22:49:00.000-06:00Great Post Joel,I cannot hear enough of this kind ...Great Post Joel,<BR/>I cannot hear enough of this kind of thing. I certainly will be checking out the other articles you gave a link to. I am trying to learn how to rest in His grace, I wish it were something I could set my mind to and give it a go to do. Some how I am going to just have to learn to rest in it, and not find something to "do" to show that I am doing it. I know it sounds senseless but I don't know how else to say it. It's posts like this one however that gets me closer to the ring I am reaching for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-53379867786955524622008-11-02T21:26:00.000-06:002008-11-02T21:26:00.000-06:00Amazing stuff, RJW!Amy,Yes, me too.
