Jesus offers us way more than sin management. He promises that he can transform us, inside out, to be
authentically, naturally good people. We can live the eternal kind of life now, in this life. Up there can come
down here in our hearts. That's what Jesus is on about in the passage we read. He says, `Don't think I've
come to get rid of the law, the law is good. It's just not enough.` He says, `I've come to fulfill it, to complete it, to
help it accomplish what it is meant to accomplish, which is the transformation of us.` Then he goes through a
series of examples where he says, `You have heard it said , but I tell you ,` and he contrasts the difference
between simply obeying a rule, and being a transformed person. Most of the examples he uses involve our two
favorite sins, sex, and violence. He says, `You have heard it said, `Do not kill anybody, ' but I say to you, if you
even get mad at someone and call them a name, then you're not living the eternal kind of life.` Maybe you've
obeyed the rule outwardly, but inside you still have all this gunk. You have heard it said, `Do not commit
adultery, ' but I say, even if you harbor a lustful fantasy that is a prison, that is a hell that you'll be in, it will drive
you crazy, and it demeans the other person because you are just taking one part of them and not all of them.
And you're not living the abundant life; you're not having the joy you could otherwise have, because you are
consumed with anger, or lust, or pride, or whatever it is.` By: Scott Dudley - December 08, 2006 - Public

 | How does Jesus fulfill the law and the prophets? |
Jesus fulfills the law and the prophets in the New Testament by making sure that every thing that was written for him in the Old Testament came to pass. So the Word of God is True, that whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. The New Testament shows us that Jesus is the Savior. Only he can save us and our world. Jesus is Lord!By: Al Benavides - March 21, 2008 - Public

 | How does Jesus fulfill the law and the prophets? |
Jesus preached love and forgiveness plus worshiping God and God alone. The law of the prophets is summed up in these three factors. Jesus was or is an advocate of worshipping God but with respect foe people an issue that the earlier prophets failed to preach. When we read the bible in the old testament, we see how people commited sin in the name of wanting to please God. Jesus preached reconciliation, love and forgiveness to create peace among societies.
