Lesson 4044

 (Lesson 4044)(02-16-23) Matthew 5:17-18

    “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

    In today’s quote, Jesus Himself, clears up a point of contention between those who believe the laws of the old Testament still apply to the children of God today, as opposed to those of us who believe that the old laws were done away when Jesus fulfilled them.

    Jesus said, “I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil”. It is clear, by what Jesus said therein, that the old laws of the Jews would stand until they were “fullfilled”. That fulfillment was accomplished when Jesus ascended back to the Father after living a perfect life under those laws 

and thereby fulfilling them.~
