Moses and Jesus

"The law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." --John 1:17

"If you believed Moses, you would believe me." --John 5:46

Evidently there is strong discontinuity between the Mosaic Law and the Christian gospel (John 1) and strong continuity between the Mosaic Law and the Christian gospel (John 5).

Great point! I could be wrong but I think my generation (twenty/thirty-somethings) is probably more inclined to emphasize the discontinuity so we would be well served to be reminded of the continuity.

Thanks for reminding us brother.
