For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. John‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬

When God gave Moses the law, it was to show us as humans, the standards that we would need to keep to be holy and perfect before God.

There was no wavering in the law. There was no giving and taking. The standard was set, and if we did not meet the standard, we would be separated from God in this life and the next.

We would be without hope. We would never be in relationship with him.

While the law showed us God‘s holiness and standards, Jesus shows us God‘s character.

It’s almost as if God gave us the law to say here’s what I expect, and you will never be able to match that! Then he sent Jesus to say, here’s a better way.

His purpose was never to put us down. his purpose was never to destroy us. His purpose was never to make us struggle with our own thoughts and actions.

His purpose, was always to draw us closer to him. his purpose was always to give us a fulfillment and peace that nothing else could give us.

In Jesus, he gave us what we were never worthy of so that we could be what we could never achieve.
