In this message from Matthew 5:17–20, you see that Jesus did not come to destroy the Law or the prophets, but to fulfill them completely in His life, death, and resurrection. He shows that every jot and tittle of God’s Word stands with full authority until all is fulfilled, and exposes how the scribes and Pharisees twisted Scripture with traditions while still breaking God’s commands. You are reminded that no one can keep God’s Law well enough to be saved, so your righteousness must come through Christ, who fulfilled the Law for you, and your obedience must flow from a heart that truly loves God, not from outward religious performance.
