Jesus is teaching us in this scripture that he did not come to us for some temporary instruction on the Law or just to fulfill the Prophets. Jesus message was that the law was not as important as what’s in your heart. And that the greatest commandments weren’t laws at all: “to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul” and to “love your neighbor as yourself”. How often the Pharisees tried to trick him and test him, but Jesus’ message never changed. And the message in his wisdom through scripture doesn’t change – it provides the “true north” that should guide our lives.
PRAYER: Lord, your message in the scriptures is as true now as it was 2000 years ago. Remind us all to stop and listen. Similar to the crowds and church leaders who doubted you then, there are doubters now. But your word still resonates and makes us confident in our salvation through Christ.
