Christ Came to Fulfill the Law and Prophets | Matthew 5:17-20

To paraphrase this passage, Jesus is essentially saying, "So far from breaking or abolishing the law, I am the One to whom the law and the prophets are pointing and I am the One who will bring it all to fulfillment. I will not leave a single pen stroke unfulfilled. In fact, it is the scribes and Pharisees who actually are antinomian (anti-law) in their hearts. My followers truly follow the law in light of its fulfillment in Me."

1. Jesus upholds all of the Old Testament (v 17-18)
