Jesus is not an anarchist; He did not abolish the Law! Jesus fulfills the tenets of the Law and invites all of us to do the same. There is no doubt that the Law of Moses remains as valid today as it did 3,800 years ago. What is different is that we have the Holy Spirit in a far more explicit manner to help us fulfill the commands of the Law. Only when we surrender fully to His grace will we understand the extent of the grace God makes available to us.
VERSE BEFORE THE GOSPEL
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.
Matthew 5:17-19
17 Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. 18 Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. 19 Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
