What did Jesus mean when He said He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it? And why does He immediately raise the standard far beyond external obedience?

In this teaching on Matthew 5:17–48, we explore how Jesus is announcing the Kingdom by revealing God’s original intention behind the Law—calling His followers to a righteousness that flows from a transformed heart.

We’ll walk through each of Jesus’ “You’ve heard it said… but I say to you” statements and see how they show us:the fulfillment of the Old Testament in Him

the heart behind each command

the difference between religious rule-keeping and Kingdom righteousness
