Today Pastor Adam walks the church through Matthew 5:17–20, where Jesus declares that He did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. He explains that Jesus affirms the entire Old Testament and reveals that its story, promises, and longings all find their completion in Him. Tracing Scripture from creation through Israel’s history, he shows how humanity repeatedly failed to meet God’s righteous standards, creating a tension that only Jesus could resolve. Jesus alone perfectly obeyed God’s law, fulfilled righteousness, and accomplished what no one else could. Through faith in Christ, we receive an “exceeding righteousness” that is not earned but graciously given—Christ’s righteousness credited to us. This emphasizes that Christians are not saved by keeping the law, but are saved by Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live in joyful obedience. God’s law is not restrictive or outdated. It's a loving guide that reveals His character and shows us how life works best. We are invited to trust God, receive Christ’s righteousness, and live distinctly for His glory.
