Before we get into this morning, NO, Moses is not the creator of the Law. He was however the one God worked through to bring the Law to the people and this world. Jesus, as God in human form is the creator of grace.
“17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” – John 1:17 (ESV)
I was compelled this morning to speak of “grace through Jesus Christ” as I continue to study the word “law”. Jesus came to this world to bring and give grace to it, even as we do/did not deserve it. He did not have to come as God could have just made it so as He had done with so many other things in this world. Yet, knowing that we are human and largely are more like the apostle Thomas and require to see things for our own eyes, He sent Jesus to bring the grace.
Jesus came to this world to complete the work that God had for Him regardless of what that work would require. God sent Him out of love for you and me. Jesus came to fulfill the law that was brought through Moses not to change it. He would adhere to the Law of God and do His work to demonstrate that Law and show us just how much love came from the Father.
“14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” – 2 Corinthians 13:14 (ESV)
The above is the salutation from Paul to the Corinthian Church. Notice the roles of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. Here we see that Paul echoes the grace to the world through Jesus and that it was out of the love of God that grace came. We didn’t/don’t deserve this grace and love, yet God give despite this fact as we are the pinnacle of His creation from the beginning (see Genesis 1 and 2).
Who brings your grace? Is it someone of this world alone? What if you see grace coming from God through Jesus for us all?
