Christ & the OT

Jamie Self - 3/10/2024

Today, we heard Jamie Self preach his sermon focused on the relationship between Christ and the Old Testament, particularly through the lens of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. He explains that Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, emphasizing the importance of righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees for entry into the kingdom of heaven. He elaborates on the concept of the law in the Old Testament, including moral, judicial, and ceremonial laws, and argues that the essence of the law is love, aligning with God's good order that brings life. Self concludes by asserting that Jesus is the fulfillment of the entire Old Testament, embodying God's promises and demonstrating that the law is fundamentally about love.
