耶穌實現了恩典和真理 — 約翰福音讀經隨筆 第1章

約翰福音第一章第17節說律法是通過摩西給的，而恩典和真理是通過耶穌基督實現的。羅馬書說摩西所給的律法本是讓人知罪。一旦人知罪，就會盼望彌賽亞的到來，因為舊約的先知們預言將會有彌賽亞降世把他的百姓從罪裏救出來。耶穌就是預言裏所說的那個彌賽亞，道成肉身來世上，死在十字架上擔當了人的罪。相信耶穌的人就因信稱義有永生，這是神的恩典與真理。因此說恩典和真理是通過耶穌基督實現的。

約1:17 律法本是借著摩西傳的、恩典和真理、都是由耶穌基督來的。
For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
約1:18 從來沒有人看見神．隻有在父懷裏的獨生子將他表明出來。
No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
羅3:20 所以凡有血氣的沒有一個、因行律法、能在神麵前稱義．因為律法本是叫人知罪。
Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
