Law Vs. Grace (John 1:17)

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Not grace at the expense of truth, not truth at the expense of grace, but grace and truth in the perfect proportion demonstrated in the only perfect person who ever lived on earth!

The law of Moses contained truth, but could never provide grace, but proclaim guilt. That is until Jesus Christ came with grace and truth!
