Jesus explaining the spirit of law: Luke 6:1-5 and Luke 6:6-10 Matthew 5:17-19 Jesus replaced blindly following the letter of the law; with reason and understanding of the law. The law remained the same, but the meaning of the law is fuller in the hearts of man, as we see in the above examples in Luke. In Matthew 5:21, Jesus talks of the commandment not to kill. And, in Mt 5:22-26 Jesus further expands on the fullness of meaning of that commandment. In Mt 5:27, Jesus addresses the commandment of adultry and in Mt 5:28-32 Jesus fulfills the meaning of the commandment. The commandment is the letter of the law, the explanation by Jesus is the spirit of the law. The spirit of the law has a broader scope of meaning. Each single law is in effect two laws. The narrow-scope version of the scribes and Pharisees; and the broader-meaning law taught by Jesus. Both are exactly the same law, but they are different. One is followed with a checklist; the other is lived within the heart. Brian |
