Well for one thing, Jesus coming helped change the people's understanding of God. When before we believed God was all for an eye for an eye, for example, we learned from Jesus that He actually isn't. He's about forgiveness and loving our enemies.
Other than that, I think as time goes on we (as the Christian faith) grow and learn, and are constantly coming to new realizations and in turn, a better understanding.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
