Grace And Truth Came Through Jesus Christ 

“For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship, has made him known.” (John1:17.)

Here St. John’s point is so clear; that the God of the Old Testament had been revealed in the New Testament. 
Jesus Christ, the Word and the Wisdom of God, was incarnated to reveal for us the true image of God. 
So the Revelation in the New Testament is not inspiration given to God’s prophets to tell people about God, but it is Jesus Himself the incarnated Word, and Son of God. 
Jesus said in the Gospel of John, chapter seven, “But I know Him, I am from Him, and He sent me” (John 7:29). 
He is God revealed in flesh. 
In the letter to the Hebrews chapter one, St. Paul explains to us clearly the relation between the Old and the New Testament, saying,“ Long ago God spoke many times in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. 
God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. 
The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, ……” (Hebrews1:1-3).
 And St. Peter in his second epistle, chapter one, compared the prophetic word in the Old Testament and the New Testament’s revelation with the light shinning in a dark place compared to the full light of the day produced by the sun which is Jesus, saying, “We also have the message of the prophets. 
This message can be trusted completely. 
You must pay attention to it. 
The message is like a light shinning in a dark place. 
It will shine until the day Jesus comes” ( 2peter 1:19). 
Jesus said in in the Gospel of Mathew chapter five “Do not think I have come to get rid of what is written in the law or in the prophets. 
Instead I have come to fulfill what is written” (Mathew5:17).
He means He came to fulfill all the prophecies about His coming.
We, the Christians, after having the revelation of the New Testament, and the true image of God revealed in His incarnated Son, now we know who God is.
He is a lover and the source of life and being; He is the creator, giving birth to everything on earth. 
So we must go and preach to the whole world His great and holy name. 
We have to proclaim the true Lord and savior, our Redeemer and protector from all the evil spirits, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
