Much of Old Testament history deals with the punishments Israel received for their disobedience to the Old Covenant laws. When Jesus Christ came, He said that He did not “come to abolish the Law or the Prophets . . . but to fulfill them”. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus took the Law to a higher level, applying it to the thoughts and intents of the heart. This perspective significantly diminishes our ability to keep the Law. Today, Pastor Bill will be reminding you that your inability to keep these laws is why you need a Savior!
