The Way of Righteousness

Welcome to the table! We're discussing Matthew 5:17-20 in this episode. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." With this verse Jesus begins to get to the heart of the questions on everyone's minds. From the start of His ministry and the first Kingdom of Heaven announcement, Jesus has been creating a stir in Galilee. The disciples have questions. The crowds have questions. The religious leaders have questions. Everyone has some expectations and the people are making some assumptions about Jesus so when He brings up the Law and the prophets, they're leaning in and listening closely. Is Jesus flipping the script by throwing out the Law and the Prophets? He is not like the teachers of the law and the Pharisee's so what does He mean when He says, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
