Matthew 5:17 Why did Jesus come?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

We have talked about being the salt of the earth, letting your light shine, sooo, have you thought about it?

Why did Jesus come?

Matthew 5:17 "Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose."

Jesus did not come to abolish the law. God's moral and ceremonial laws were given to help people love God with all their hearts and minds. Throughout Israel's history these laws had often been misquoted and misapplied.

By Jesus' time, religious leaders had turned the laws into a confusing mass of rules. When Jesus talked about a new way to understand God's law, he was actually trying to bring people back to its original purpose.

Jesus did not speak against the law itself but against the abuses and excesses to which it had been subjected. Look at John 1:17. Moses was the giver of God's law, while Jesus Christ came to fulfill the law.

Soooooo, why did Jesus come? Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
