Grace upon grace... like waves on the seashore

John spoke of the Logos of God and said, “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only [Monogenes is an amazing word; it means- ‘the uniquely born, never to be replicated, the One, the Only.’], who came from the Father, full of Grace and Truth”— and these in perfect balance {1:14}.  I love this next part.  In v. 16 he says, “From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another.”  This is charin anti charitos, literally- ‘grace in place of grace’ or ‘grace on top of grace,’ like waves on the seashore, one after another after another after another.  “For the Law was given through Moses; Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ,” v. 17.  And hallelujah that they did!
