“For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17, NASB)

“This statement is the key to all that follows in John’s Gospel. Right through it you find the same double emphasis, upon truth on the one hand and upon grace on the other. Truth will always make demands, and grace will always be there to meet them. In the incident recorded in Chapter 8 of the woman taken in adultery, truth shines forth … The truth was there: she had indeed sinned and according to the law she should be stoned; but so also was grace, for when all had departed He turned to her with, “Neither do I condemn thee”. Throughout the Gospel of John you will find truth is always matched by grace in this way.”

(from A Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee, February 9th)
