The Call to Christlike Leadership "we have seen His glory ... full of grace and truth ... grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." - John 1:14,17

MOSES and JESUS "For the LAW was given through Moses..." (John 1:17a) - the Law (Heb. Torah ) was the expression of God's character and moral will for man as embodied in the Mosaic covenant. It foreshadowed Christ who was to fulfill and embody that Law as the "TRUTH" (Col. 2:17; Heb. 10:1; Rom. 10:4; Matt. 5:17; John 14:6)

"GRACE and TRUTH came through Jesus Christ." (John 1:17b)

"GRACE and TRUTH" The foundational character of our Lord Jesus' LEADERSHIP and MINISTRY. GRACE (Grk. charis; Heb. hesed ) - kindness and favor shown to an offender or to one of low position (Eph. 2:7; Rom. 2:4) TRUTH (Grk. aletheia; Heb. 'emet ) - expression or revelation of God's character and moral will

"GRACE and TRUTH" GRACE without TRUTH corrupts TRUTH without GRACE condemns GRACE without TRUTH leads to licentiousness TRUTH without GRACE leads to legalism Legalism values the Law above the worth of the person; GRACE values the worth of the person in order to inspire obedience to the Law (TRUTH)

Grace Always Precedes Truth (Law) The pattern of revelation in both Old and New Testaments - Creation - Exodus - Christ "Neither do I condemn you (GRACE) ..." "Go, and leave your life of sin. (TRUTH)". (John 8:11)

Grace Always Precedes Truth (Law) GRACE redeems; TRUTH transforms GRACE affirms your worth; TRUTH sanctifies your walk. GRACE gives you right standing with God, so that you'll have the confidence to rise up to the standard of His TRUTH GRACE inspires the heart to love TRUTH
