// Read: Matthew 5:17-20 //
17 “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. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
MEDITATION:
Some people separate the law and the prophets from the gospel of Jesus Christ. They say that Jesus’ dispensation has condemned the law and prophets. This is a delusion. Jesus said in verse 17 that He has not come to destroy the law (Exodus 20) and prophets but to fulfill them! No wonder, He made sure He fulfilled ALL the prophecies written about Him! Do not believe the lies of the enemy by taking some aspect of the Bible lightly. Nothing is obsolete in the Bible, be warned!
PRAYER: Ask for forgiveness today if you are guilty of verse 19 and make amend.
