Encountering Jesus: Transforming Conversations
7 Part Series
Matthew 5:17-20
Honoring the Law
Summary
In this message, we’re challenged to reconsider our relationship with God’s law in light of Jesus’ teachings. Focusing on Matthew 5:17-20, we explore how Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. This isn’t about obsolescence, but transformation. We’re called to honor the law through worship, obedience, and faith. The key insight is that all Scripture points to Jesus – He’s the destination, the fulfillment of everything. This perspective invites us to see the Old Testament with fresh eyes, understanding it as a blueprint guiding us to Christ. As we engage with God’s Word daily, we’re not just accumulating knowledge, but drawing closer to the person of Jesus. This message encourages us to move beyond mere external compliance to internal transformation, driven by grace and love rather than obligation.
