Moses gave the Law: But grace came by Jesus Christ grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Moses never saw God, he saw His back side: Christ hath seen Him:1 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, (Moses was but a servant) the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him. None so fit to declare the mind of God (which is the work of a Prophet) as He which hath lien in the bosom of God the Father.
Would you have a proof of His Priestly fullness? Pray look into the, 16. of John: (consider it duly) saith he, I will send the Comforter (at the 7. verse) and He shall convince the would of sin; and of righteousness (at the 10. verse) because I go to My Father and ye see Me no more: Mark those words: ⟨p. 11⟩I go to My Father and ye see Me no more. As if He should say thus: You are indebted to God the Father through your transgressions: I am become your surety; & now I am ready to be cast into prison for your debt: the grave is to take hold upon me, I am to lye by it for your fin, for your debt: But (saith He now) Isle rise out of the grave, Isle come forth of prison, Isle go to God the Father, and you shall see Me no more: Whereas now, if I did not pay the whole debt when I came in Heaven, God the Father would say to Me: You are in prison for mans debt, What do you here? You have not paid the debt yet; go to prison again, go down to prison again. No (saith He) but I go to My Father and ye shall see Me no more: and therefore conclude I have paid the full debt, I go to My Father and ye see Me no more.
