       This is a very significant point, and it’s something that we need to recall as we go through our discussion today. Our newfound faith in Jesus, our working and active faith, that faith does not take away God’s Law, it does not even render it obsolete. To say so would be a misunderstanding. The verse from Jesus should be popping into your head by now. “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. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished” (Matthew 5:17-18, ESV). It wasn’t that Christ sought to throw out the old and bring in the new. The new finishes, or completes the old. It’s much like the sequel to your favorite movie. The sequel doesn’t throw out the first movie, it brings the story into further completion, brings more out of it; it brings it to further fulfillment.
