Sermon on the mount series message 10

Text: Matthew 5:17-20

As Jesus develops the heart of His discourse, He speaks to what may feel tangential or even unnecessary: His value judgement on the law. It is, after all, the straightedge by which the religious leaders were analyzing Him. Even stepping into the shallow end of His teaching rewards us with stunning insight into the fullness, the beauty, and the power of Jesus' ministry. The glory of the gospel is on full display! Dwelling on these truths will enrich and develop our confidence in the finished work of Christ on our behalf.
