Matthew 5:17-20

Until Heaven & Earth Pass Away, the Law of Moses Will Stay (Matthew 5:18)

Until Heaven & Earth Pass Away, the Law of Moses Will Stay (Matthew 5:18)

Did Jesus bring the Law of Moses to an end, or did he want his followers to obey it? As we learned in our previous video, Jesus makes it clear in Matthew 5:17 that he did not come to invalidate the Law’s authority but rather came to teach and demonstrate the correct way to obey it. This statement alone is sufficient to dismiss any claims that Jesus did away with the Law. But he doesn’t stop there. In Matthew 5:18, he goes on to declare that the whole Torah will remain as long as heaven and earth exist. In other words, it will not be going away any time soon. In this video, we will delve into the significance of Jesus’s statement that nothing will pass from the Law “until heaven and earth pass away” and “until all is accomplished.”

In this video, we focus on verse 17, where Jesus says, “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.” We explore what Jesus meant by the terms “abolish” and “fulfill.”

The Lord's Day Part 1: Sabbath and Sunday in Scripture

It’s widely believed that the Lord’s Day (Sunday) has replaced the Sabbath for Christians. Pastor John MacArthur says the Sabbath “is gone” and “the new covenant has a completely different day.” But does Scripture support this idea?
