Matthew 05 – “You Have Heard… But I Say to You” – Fulfilling the Law
Deep Study
Yeshua does not abolish the Law but fulfills it by raising it to the level of the heart.
He gives six contrasts:
- Anger = Murder in the heart
- Lust = Adultery in the heart
- Divorce, Oaths, Retaliation, and Love for enemies
Yeshua Connection:
Only Yeshua perfectly fulfilled the Law. He lived the righteousness we could never achieve, then gives it to us by grace.
Key Truth:
True righteousness is internal and relational, not merely external rule-keeping. Yeshua transforms the heart.
