Bible Question: will someone explain Matthew 5 to me |
Bible Answer: Matthew has many parallels between Mose and Jesus. In the case of Matt 5 we have a comparison between the Law on the Mount of Sinai and the Sermon on the Mount, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant as the fulfillment of the Old. Jesus in Matt 5-7 sets up a new standard of covenant rigthtoeusness that goes deeper than the law of Moses and advocates holiness that is interior and personal. As Moses ascended Mount Sinai in Exodus 19 so Jesus ascend a Mount to deliver the standard of his new Covenant. These various parallels between Moses and Jesus, the Old Covenant and the New are found throughout Matthew. Emmaus |
