Introduction
1. God’s Plan: to Fulfill the Law through Christ
“I have come to fulfill the Law and the Prophets.”
Jesus obeyed the Law.
Everything that the Old Testament intended to communicate about God’s will and his hopes for humanity finds its fullest meaning in Jesus.
It’s not going to pass away.
the Jot and Tittle
Jews: when Sarai’s name was changed to Sara, the Yodh went missing.
But when Oshea’s name was changed to Joshua, the Yodh returned to Scripture.
It won’t pass away until the creation of the new heaven and the new earth.
Jesus teaches a profound way of fulfilling the Law with Grace.
An example:
Lex Talionis - The Law of Retribution.
By our sin we have slapped the face of God.
God justly should have slapped us back.
Instead, he bore the slap himself.
similarly
This is grace.
if someone wins your shirt in court, give him your coat as well.
if someone forces you to go one mile, go two.
With Cain
With Lamech
With Us
IL: JD’s friend Nolan - mom: “I learned to forgive every single day.”
It is hard, it is counter-cultural, it is painful, it takes time, but it is good.
2. Our Purpose: to practice and teach the Law
9-20
Listen, read, study, memorize, and meditate.
But unless you put it into practice, it is worthless to you.
Why should God bless you with new truths until you actually put the last truths into practice?
Jesus also calls us to teach
with children, students, adults
in your community group
in conversations with people during the week
The Bible isn’t going away.
It is our foundation for our faith and our practice.
Here is the summary of the Law that Jesus gave.
mt 22:36-40
