Think not that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. Matt. 5:17
The Law is God’s perfect standard reflecting His own holy character. What hope do we have to ever keep God’s perfect Law? The answer—the Lord Jesus came “to fulfill” the Law. In His life He became our perfect example; “I always do those things that please Him” (John 8:29). The Law says, “the soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezek. 8:4). “…Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). The Lord Jesus Christ fulfills the Law perfectly! He is our substitute, example and our daily Sanctification. —Milton Haack
I’ve found a Friend, Who is all to me, His love is ever true;
I love to tell how He lifted me And what His grace can do for you.—J.B.S.
