To Fulfill Them

Matthew 5:17-20 NIV


17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

The word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ are the same as is the Old Testament and the New. They are of one God and tell of the same story

Christ fulfills the law in two ways. He reveals the true meaning and is the Christ, the Son of God that the OT points to and is revealed in the NT.

Do not neglect this time of your visitation.
