Sabbatarians Say "Jesus Said the Law Will Last" Sabbatarians say that Jesus told us at Matthew 5:18 that nothing whatsoever will disappear from the Law until heaven and earth disappear. Let’s see what the Scripture says: Matthew 5:18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Did Jesus say what the Sabbatarians claim? No, not really. He said the Law would last indefinitely until everything is accomplished! When would everything be accomplished? When the Law and the Prophets were fulfilled. What did Jesus say he came to do? Matthew 5:17 “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. Jesus said he came to fulfill them. Did he? I believe he did, but what does Scripture say? At Matthew 26:56, Jesus said, “56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” When Jesus said, “It is finished!” (John 19:30) on the cross, I believe he was stating that the fulfillment of the law and the prophets was finished. For corroboration, consider what Jesus said at Luke 18:31: Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the of Man will be fulfilled.” (Luke 18:31). This much misunderstood passage, claimed to say that the Old Testament Law will last until heaven and earth pass away, is indeed misstated and misunderstood. The law and prophets, according to Jesus, have been fulfilled and accomplished. IT IS FINISHED! Bernie Korselman |
