- π Moses’ fading glory represents failure and condemnation, while Jesus’ increasing glory represents the putting away of sins and the expectation of good things; Israel needs the gospel of grace and preaching it is necessary for their salvation.
1.1 Moses’ glory was fading and represented failure and condemnation, but Jesus’ glory is ever increasing and represents the putting away of sins and the expectation of good things.

1.4 Share the gospel with others, including charitable organizations, by directing them to TBN where the gospel is being preached and restored.
1.5 We are not preaching the same gospel that Paul preached, as people misunderstand and accuse him of promoting sin, while we preach a gospel of do good get good and do bad get bad, which is not the true gospel.

- π Grace and Truth, represented as one, came through Jesus and are the powerful forces that bring freedom and eternal life.

- π Sin, sickness, and poverty have no power over us because of God’s grace, and by resting in Him, we are redeemed from the curse of stress and work.
4.1 Johannan, meaning the grace of God, wrote his name as Yo Kanan, and when baby Jesus was brought to the temple, Simeon, representing the entirety of the law, blessed the parents and said he could depart in peace after seeing Yeshua, and right after that, Hannah, representing grace, proclaimed redemption to everyone.
4.2 Sin, sickness, and poverty have no power over those who are under grace because grace is the supply that meets all demands, and when we rest in God, He works through us.

4.4 Jesus redeemed us from the curse of stress and work by sweating blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, and as believers, we are called to live a sweatless life under God’s grace.
- π‘ The law demands righteousness, but Jesus came to redeem us through grace, as seen in the stories of the Rich Young Ruler and Zacchaeus.
