In Matthew 5:21-48 Jesus demonstrates what he meant in Matthew 5:17 where he said he did not come to abolish the law but to make it fully known. Jesus taught the law of God faithfully and truthfully. It was the Pharisees who misinterpreted and misapplied the law to justify their sin. Jesus, through the law, exposes our sin and directs us to our need for the Savior.
