AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:17 ¶ "Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. |
Subject: I CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW |
Bible Note: Jesus Himself changed some of the moral laws. See specifically Matt. 5:33-48. Jesus also fulfilled some -- ceremonial and Levitical. Christ is the one time perfect sacrifice, and also our new high priest. Also Paul makes a distinction between God's Law and Christ's Law in 1Corinthians 9:21. Paul understood apparently that they are not the exact same thing. |
