Fulfilled

Matthew 5:17-18
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.
The Old Testament was clear that a new day was coming, but when it would come and what it would look like were not detailed. So, when Jesus arrived there was a mixture of excitement and concern. The religious Jews wondered if Jesus had come to tear down their way of worship.
In today’s passage, Jesus made it known that he did not come to dismantle the Old Testament. In fact, he came to complete it. He came to add the finishing work.
- The OT called for an annual sacrifice. Jesus sacrificed himself once for all.
- The OT called for a perfect sacrifice. Jesus was sinless.
- The OT contains nineteen direct prophecies about the coming Messiah. Jesus fulfilled them all.
- The OT told of a suffering servant. Jesus came to die on a cross.
- Jesus transitioned the physical kingdom to a spiritual one.
