Summary

The only Son from the Father - full of grace and truth. There are many things that John could have mentioned the Son coming in the fullness of - full of justice, full of righteousness, full of holiness. After all, he possesses every perfection. "A faithful God who does no wrong; upright and just is he." (Deut 32:4) And yet John chooses to highlight that he comes full of grace. And not only is HE full of grace, but in him, WE have recieved grace upon grace from his fullness! What does it mean that he is full of grace? And that we have received grace upon grace? John is going to expound on this even more in chapter 3. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved! This echoes Paul's gospel proclamation in Romans 8 - There is now no condemnation for those in Christ. What the law could not do - God did. As you contemplate the beuatiful mystery of the Incarnation this Christmas season, do not forget that the Word who took on flesh is full of grace and truth! He isn't just gracious; he possesses every perfection of grace. So that you might receive from his fullness!

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Unknown Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance outlining an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. In the tale, Sir Gawain accepts a challenge from a mysterious warrior who is completely green, from his clothes and hair to his beard and skin. The "Green Knight" offers to allow anyone to strike him with his axe if the challenger will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts, and beheads him in one blow, only to have the Green Knight stand up, pick up his head, and remind Gawain to meet him at the appointed time. The story of Gawain's struggle to meet the appointment and his adventures along the way demonstrate the spirit of chivalry and loyalty. (Wikipedia) This 20th Century rendering is by WA Neilson.

To them, the author has added the great mythical Carolingian cycle, which centred round the persons of Charlemagne and his heroes, and the Breton ones of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as the legend of the Holy Grail.
