14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Having read through most of Exodus this put a new spin on Grace and Truth.....the law was True...but Truth CAME THROUGH Jesus. Jesus was with God in the beginning...and therefore the source of Truth. God did exercise grace in the OT.....yet Jesus Christ embodies grace and from his birth represented Grace. Grace defined: as unmerited favor.... getting something we don't deserve.
In this season of Easter...we come face to face with the death of, burial of and triumphant ressurection of Grace and Truth. Grace and Truth that was in the beginning, and lives today. God let us be bold in proclaiming this Truth.
