The Law, Jesus, and Grace.

How does Jesus relate to the Law? As believers in Christ, what is our relationship with scripture, especially the books of Moses and the Prophets of the Old Testament supposed to be? Our temptation might be to try and “unhitch” ourselves from the Old Testament, with it’s difficult texts and obscure laws. Jesus knew his disciples might come to believe that is exactly what Jesus came to do. So before he gets to the heart of his sermon on the mount, Jesus wants to front-load a few clarifying statements about Himself and the Law of God. He probably doesn’t say what you expect him to.
