John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. "You never saw a woman sewing without a needle! She would come but poor speed, if she only sewed wi' the thread. So, I think, when we're dealing wi' sinners, we maun aye put in the needle o' the law first; for the fact is, they're sleepin' sound, and they need to be awakened up wi' something sharp. But when we've got the needle of the law fairly in, we may draw as lang a thread as you like o' gospel consolation after it." (F. Lockhart.)
