For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


I. A COMPARISON.

1. Both men.

2. Both messengers from God.

3. Both bearers of a revelation.

II. A CONTRAST.

1. Moses only man; Christ the Son of God.

2. Moses raised up by God; Christ sent forth from God.

3. Moses the bearer of a revelation outside of himself; Christ the bringer of a revelation in Himself.
