Matthew 5-7

Hello so the Sermon on the Mount

What really stood out to me was verse Matthew 5:17 -20. I was discussing this with someone and they told me to look this up:

Colossians 2:6-23 6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. 8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers[a]of this world, rather than from Christ. 9 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.[b] 10 So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. 11 When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature.[c] 12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed[d] the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. 16 So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. 17 For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality. 18 Don’t let anyone condemn you by insisting on pious self-denial or the worship of angels,[e] saying they have had visions about these things. Their sinful minds have made them proud, 19 and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it. 20 You have died with Christ, and he has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of the world, such as, 21 “Don’t handle! Don’t taste! Don’t touch!”? 22 Such rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them.23 These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self-denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person’s evil desires.

Ephesians 2:11-22 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (that done in the body by the hands of men) —12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

So what I got from connecting the dots:

Was that the book of law (law of Moses) was not just the Ten Commandments but the entire, first 5 books of the old testament (also known as Pentateuch) was the complete book of law. This is what set the Jews apart from the Gentiles. So the purpose was to make peace between the Jews and the Gentiles (where there is one person of the 2 groups together as one body) by his death he ended the whole system of the division of the Jew and Gentiles. And the biggest symbol of the Jewish law was the temple, and other ones were circumcision, keeping Sabbath, etc. In the book of Hebrew, it compares Jesus and Moses; How Jesus is superior over Moses. How Jesus is the perfect temple, the perfect sacrifice, the new priest, Jesus brought a better law. So Jesus by being all those thing fulfilled the law perfectly, being the perfect temple, perfect sacrifice, perfect priest, made by heaven, brought the law into the perfect point and destroyed the book of Moses. So by fulfilling the law, he finished the law. The beatitudes was basically saying to the people that they have made the law such an external thing and you think that you've been keeping it but let me explain to you more in depth what it actually means. Then he was asking if they think they could keep it, obviously they couldn't, but he said I’m going to keep it and I’m going to complete it and than invite you into my body and if your in me and you've been baptized through me then the law no longer applies to you.Sin is sin but because Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, there is no more need for the blood of the bull and lamb.
