Grace and Truth

This pre-eminence of Jesus Christ over Moses is indicative of the pre-eminence of grace over law, the only two grounds upon which God deals with man. The pre-eminence of grace over law can then be said to be as the creator over the creature: as of the divine over the sinful human: as the spiritual over the flesh, as of the infinite over the finite, and as that which endures over that which passes away.
