Good morning, Lord

Matthew 5:17
The Fulfillment of the Law
 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

4130 plḗthō (or pimplēmi) – properly, fill to the maximum (full extent), "the limit" (CBL). 4130 /plḗthō("full") implies "filled to one's (individual) capacity."

[This root (plē-) expresses totality, and implies full quantity ("up to the max"). DNTT (1,733) notes its cognates (plērēs, plēroō, plērōma) all come from the root (plē-/plēthō) meaning "full in quantity." Thus 4130/plḗthō ("to fill or complete") refers to "that which is complete in itself because of plentitudeentire number or quantity. . . . the whole aggregate," WS, 395,96).

4130 (plēthō) may be a by-form derived from the same root as pimplēmi. All these terms (cognates) emphasize the idea of "maximum (full extent)."]

Good morning, Lord, thank You for coming, Emmanual, god with us, You came full of grace and truth (John 1:14, 1:17), but also full of purpose, to fulfill, totally, all the Law and the Prophets. What a joy to live on this side of history, how amazing it must have been to anticipate Your coming. Thank You for the things You came to bring victory over, sin and death (I Corinthians 15:56-57), may our mouths be as full as our hearts, sharing all this wonderful news with all You send into our lives, we pray in Your name, Jesus, amen.
