Why Jesus Came to Fulfill the Law: Matthew 5:17–20 Explained

Jesus did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill them. Every smallest letter and the least stroke will endure until all is accomplished.

Jesus warns that our righteousness must surpass that of the Pharisees and teachers of the law if we hope to enter the kingdom of heaven.
