Matthew 5:17-20 – A Thorough Investigation

Matthew 5:17-20 by JK McKee

According to Yeshua the Messiah’s words here in Matthew 5:17, delivered within His Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chs. 5-7, the Savior clearly states what His views are regarding the Torah of Moses. Along with Psalm 23 and the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17), Matthew 5-7 includes the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2-12) and the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13), the four passages together composing the most frequently read and valued sections of the Bible for most evangelical Christians. Yeshua’s statements about the Torah are not at all hidden away in some obscure place. Jesus says very plainly that His purpose was not to “abolish” the Torah or Law of Moses, but to “fulfill” it. Gain a deeper understanding of Matthew 5:17-20 from a pro-torah perspective.

      Luke 24.44 is not much of a reply to six pages of discussion about how Jesus “fulfilled” the Law does not mean the Law was some kind of one-use only utensil that got thrown away, is it?

      Anyway, to reply to your “reply,” notice that Jesus said, “all things were fulfilled in the Law . . . about me” — there are other things in the Law still not yet fulfilled. Reply please.
