4. Jesus Kept The Law Jesus lived under the Law (Gal. 4:4)
Jesus came, not to destroy, but to fulfill (Matt. 5:17-19)
Jesus taught the Law should be kept (Matt. 23:1-3)

5. The Law Fulfilled in Jesus
Came not to destroy, but to fulfill (Matt. 5:17-19)
“Abolish” - NASB & ESV - wrong word
Compare with Ephesians 2:15
Did Jesus do what He came not to do?
They are different words in original language
Matthew – “to destroy utterly; to overthrow completely”
Ephesians – “to reduce to inactivity”

Today we are to follow Jesus and do what He has commanded (Matt. 28:20)

Requires the death of the Testator (Heb. 9:16-17).
His blood inaugurates the new covenant (Heb. 9:18; Matt. 26:28)
