3919 — Who Gave the Law?

Will you please give me the proof that Christ was the one who spoke and wrote the law.
John 1:1-3 is very clear evidence regarding this,—"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that hath been made." In other words, Christ has been the Word of the Godhead to the world and to the universe. He was the one, therefore, through whom God gave the law, and all the instruction to the children of Israel. Again, Acts 7:37, 38: "A Prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me." That Prophet, of course, was Christ. "This is He that was in the church in the wilderness with the Angel that spake to Him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us." That Angel was God's Angel, the Angel of Jehovah, Michael, our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the Father said, "My name is in Him." Ex. 23:21. Again 1 Cor. 8:6: "Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through Him." That is, all things come through the Lord Jesus. Therefore He must have been the one who gave the law to Moses and through whom God wrote it on the tables of stone.
