Jesus tells us some strong things about the Law. He said that he came to fulfill it. He said that those who break it and teach others to do the same will be called least in the Kingdom. He also told us that those who wish to obey them must do a better job than the Pharisees did if they are to enter the Kingdom. Besides being a mighty blow to the pride of the Pharisees, this really lowers the hammer on those of us who have not paid the Law much mind in the misconception that Jesus has abolished it. He has not done away with it; rather he has fulfilled it and given us the opportunity to truly live within the Law of a loving Father.
