Why is it that Jesus, the Teacher and Lord, never mentions grace at all in all the four gospel accounts? In fact, Jesus never once mentioned grace in the entire New Testament except when speaking with Paul (i.e. "my grace is sufficient for you"). Yet it has been expanded by those indoctrinated in the Reformation theology to be the most imporant aspect of the gospel (if you talk to those who are indoctrinated in Reformation theology).

If you talk with Reformationists long enough you will undoubtedly hear that the dichotomy Jesus spoke of in the New Testament is between "Law" and "grace". How is that possible when Jesus never mentions grace except once?

It is quite simply erroneous. The error began with Luther. He did not start with the gospels but rather started with the book of Romans. In doing this he obviously misconstrued the dichotomy and elevated grace to a position that Jesus himself never did. Luther also misconstrued much of the book of Romans, and then made the gospels fit what he had already misconstrued. That seems to me to be the case. The problem is that Reformationists continue propagating what Luther did and the problem continues.
