Christ's Greater Righteousness

Christ’s Greater Righteousness

Matthew 5:17-20

Pastor Matt Webster

- Jesus Confirms the Lasting Value and Importance of the Law (v.18-19)

- Jesus Commands a Greater Righteousness (v.20)

Further Reflection

1) How does understanding that Jesus fulfilled the Law change your perspective on the Old Testament? How does it affect the way you approach both the Old and New Testaments in your personal Bible study?

2) We are called to a greater, heart-deep righteousness that goes beyond mere rule-keeping. What area of your life might God be calling you to apply His Word more deeply? What practices can you adopt in your daily routine to ensure that your obedience to God comes from a heart of love and devotion, rather than just obligation?

3) In light of Jesus’ teaching on the Law, how do you view the role of the Law in your Christian walk today? How can you live out the spirit of the Law (love God and love others) in practical ways?
