Subject: The Law of Moses has been abrogated |
Bible Note: I must disagree with Matthew Henry's commentary on Matthew 5:17f. The book of Hebrews informs us that the old law is no longer in effect with the change of preisthood there was a change of law (Hebrews 7:12). Paul says the old law was nailed to yhe cross (Colossians 2:14) and we are dead (separated) to the law (Romans 7:4f). When Christ fulfilled the law and the prophets they were no longer in force. The old covenant (or law) was replaced by the new covenant and the law of Christ. |
