Life of Messiah 55 Sermon on the Mount Part 11 -Matthew 5:17-20 Dr Fretwell
Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:17–20): Jesus Fulfills the Law, the “Shellfish Argument,” and a High View of Scripture
Thomas Fretwell continues the Life of Messiah series through the Sermon on the Mount, recapping the Beatitudes and Jesus’ call to be salt and light, then focusing on Matthew 5:17–20 where Jesus says He did not abolish the Law or the Prophets but fulfilled them. He explains the dispute with Pharisaic oral tradition, distinguishes Torah/Prophets/Writings (Tanakh), and argues Christ fulfilled the Mosaic Law, sacrificial system, and prophecies while inaugurating the new covenant and the “law of Christ.” He addresses the common “shellfish” objection by distinguishing laws unique to Israel from moral commands repeated before and after Moses in the New Testament. He emphasizes Jesus’ doctrine of verbal plenary inspiration, warning against setting aside God’s commandments, and concludes that righteousness must surpass the Pharisees’ by faith in Christ, not law-keeping.
