"Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." (John 1:16-17)

Jesus is the fullness of God and the fullness of man, all in one being. And God says, "this is grace upon grace." To us, grace is when we get something we don't deserve and we don't deserve to receive the kind of relationship we have with God. We could never earn it. The law of God reveals that to us. Moses brought us the Old Testament laws and, by the way, there aren't just ten of them. There are roughly six hundred and thirteen! His law serves civil purposes by restraining sin in the world. They reveal God's perfection and our imperfection, and they help Christ-followers be conformed to the image of Christ. But we can't live up to His perfect law. We need the grace and truth of Jesus and thank God He gives it! He is where the joy is!
