Christ, the Christian and the Law
Jesus has spoken of the kingdom dweller’s character, their influence and not shifts to the righteousness that must surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees.

This is important section with some important contrasts
Righteousness of kingdom dwellers (intro)
Righteousness in Old Testament and the New Testament
Relation of the Law and the gospel
We will draw a couple more contrasts: Christ and the Law and the Kingdom dweller and the law.
_____________________
This section that we are looking at is very important.
Not only does it define the righteousness of the kingdom dweller, it also puts it in light of the relation of the O.T. and the N.T. the gospel and the Law.
This also draws two things, Christ and the Law (vv.17-18) and the kingdom dweller and the law (vv.19-20).
Now here is the passage then we will break it down some
Mt5:17
Christ and the Law
Christ and the Law
Contrary to what has been implied previously about Jesus, the Law and traditions, Jesus addresses the issue regarding the Law.
Did He come to destroy, abolish the Law?
Abolish (destroy) or fulfill, let the scripture speak.

From early in ministry Jesus authority has been questioned (Mk1:22) and that they were lawbreakers not keepers (Mk2:24); as well as tradition breaker (Mk1:22-27)

But here is a couple to consider now (Deu18:15-19; Isa53:1-12)
The Old Testament foretold of the kingdom coming too (Dan2:44)
The Old Testament foregotold of the new covenant (Jer31:31-34)

It was later in His ministry that the question was actually asked of Jesus.
They thought Jesus and the apostles were law breakers by the Mark passage and add in Mk1:22-27 Jesus healing on the Sabbath (man with unclean spirit)

Covenant originally promised to Abraham, then reminded through Jeremiah
