a reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Chapter 5, verses 17 through 37. Jesus said to his disciples, Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish, but to fulfill. Amen. I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law until all things have taken place.

But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

… I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Profound words. Jesus begins by saying, do not think that I came to abolish the law. It's as if he were saying, I know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking.

That's not possible, however. …
… The Word of God cannot change. Matthew 5 verse 18, the written Word for Jesus himself said, Verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, not one jot nor one tittle shall fail from the law, till all be fulfilled. Do you know what a jot and a tittle are? Think of a comma or a dot over an I. It's the smallest marking in the Hebrew language. Jesus said the Word of God doesn't change, and Jesus Himself doesn't change. See the correspondence. Hebrews 13, verse 8, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Both are unchanging.

… NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS. I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NOWISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED." MY HEART HAS BEEN BLESSED AS I HAVE MEDITATED ON THESE SCRIPTURES. IT SPEAK, IT SPEAK, THEY SPEAK OF THE LORD JESUS, THE GREAT FULFILLER. AND WHOEVER YOU ARE TODAY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE BEHIND IN YOUR EDUCATION. NO ONE IS TRULY EDUCATED WHO IS IGNORANT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
