From His fullness we have all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
(John 1:16–17)
God’s Law, given through Moses, revealed who we truly are and the greatness and holiness of God. Through it, we see how far we are from reaching God's goodness and perfection. The Lord’s commandments are not just rules—they are love and life to those who obey them. Yet without God’s help, we saw that humanity failed, unable to fully carry out His will. It is impossible to do so by our own merit...
But thanks be to God for Jesus Christ! When He came into the world, He embodied God’s grace and truth for humanity. He didn’t just bring or revise instructions—He lived them, fulfilling the Law in all its fullness. Jesus showed us in action how we should live before God and revealed God's love and life toward mankind.
Walk in the grace and truth of Jesus! You’ll see how He will help you and lead you to victory and abundant life.

Prayer:
Lord God, thank You so much for sending us Jesus. Through Him we’ve received salvation and forgiveness for our failures. In Jesus, we also have the perfect model of how to please, obey, and love You. That’s amazing—because we could never do it on our own. Teach us to walk always in that path, which is Christ: the way of truth, grace, love, and life. Help me reflect Your fullness and endless grace to the world.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
