Matthew 5:17-20 | Jesus is the Greater Righteousness
Apr 6, 2025 • Michael Johnson
This sermon explored Jesus' relationship to the Old Testament Law, as outlined in Matthew 5:17-20. We learned that Jesus came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. This fulfillment is both prophetic (as the Old Testament pointed to Him) and in completion (as He lived out perfect righteousness). Pastor Michael emphasized our need for Christ's righteousness, as our own efforts can never meet God's holy standard.
