Having manifested that the saints hold peculiar fellowship with the Lord Jesus, it nextly follows that we show wherein it is that they have this peculiar communion with him. Now, this is in grace. This is everywhere ascribed to him by the way of eminency. "He dwelt among us, full of grace and truth;" — grace in the truth and substance of it. All that went before was but typical and in representation; in the truth and substance it comes only by Christ. "Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ;" "and of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace;" — that is, we have communion with him in grace; we receive from him all manner of grace whatever; and therein have we fellowship with him.
