Summer on the Mount - You Complete Me: Matthew 5:17-20

You Complete Me: Matthew 5:17-20Senior Pastor Alex KennedyThroughout history, there have been those that have said that when Jesus came, the Old Testament became irrelevant. Well, Jesus had something to say about that when He said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets: I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."
So, Jesus is actually saying that He is "filling the Law and the Prophets full". The Law was a shadow of what was to come; the reality belonged to Christ. We also see that Jesus fulfilled all of the Messianic prophecies. The Truth in the Old Testament pointed to Jesus, which makes it extremely valuable!
