Reading from The Gospel According Matthew 5:17-20 (NLT) ~Teaching about the Law~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Accomplishing the law, not abolishing the law. Jesus came to do the heavy lifting, there is nothing left to accomplish. The high standard of righteousness is a heart matter not actions, deeds, or rituals. The law itself had become a God. Trying to solve the riddles of life is like trying to earn favor.
