Jesus often distinguishes the difference between Law and Grace, hiding these deep spiritual truths in plain sight through stories and parables. If you don’t know what to look for, you’ll miss it. His teachings on Grace offer us rest and relief from our spiritual labors, pointing us towards a new covenant of righteousness based on faith rather than works. Ultimately, the cross stands as a catastrophic defeat for sin and a monumental victory for believers, perfectly embodying God’s eternal plan of righteousness and grace.
The Yoke of Grace

The teachings of Jesus, often marked by contrasting “Red Letters,” help us discern between the burden of the Law and the rest provided through Grace. He emphasizes that He has already taken the weight of perfection, urging believers to seek rest in Him rather than striving for righteousness through their own efforts. While the Law reveals our sins and emphasizes our inability to achieve perfection, Jesus provides the path to freedom through the new covenant, inviting us to rest in His finished work.
