Matthew 5:17 (NKJV): Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
Many, up to this point, believed that The Messiah would remove/destroy The Law, when He came. Jesus, however, told them that He was not there to destroy but to fulfill The Law.
How did He fulfill The Law? He did it by becoming The Perfect Sacrifice. Sacrifice was what God had given to man to restore himself to God’s Favor. The problem is that it was only a temporary solution. There had to be a more Permanent Solution when it came to sacrifice.
When Jesus died on the Cross, His Death was what paid The Price for us. That is why when He died, the veil, between The Holy Place and The Most Holy Place, was torn in two. It was to signify that we did not have to have a man as our advocate to go to God an more. Jesus became that Advocate. We go to God directly through Jesus.
Jesus did not completely fulfill The Law when He came the first time. There are still parts that will be fulfilled when He returns. However, until He does return, we need to remember that even though He became The Perfect Sacrifice, we still need to be obedient to God’s Commands. This does not mean we live by The Commandments to find favor. It means that we do need to be obedient if we Love God. It’s like abiding by laws that are in place for us to keep us safe.
It starts with Our Relationship with Jesus. If you don’t have a Relationship with Him or you need to rekindle that Relationship, do it now. Call out to Him and seek his Love and Forgiveness. It really is as hard or easy as you make it.
We should look to Him daily to seek a relationship with Him. I want to encourage you to seek Him today, if you haven’t already. If you need help, have questions or need direction in this regard, please, feel free to let me know.
Maybe today you are struggling with something. Maybe you may have found yourself not as close to The Lord as you thought. We would like to help you in this through prayer and guidance.
