Jesus and the Torah

Jesus preaches about the kingdom of God. For Jews, the question immediately arises as to how Jesus interprets the commandments of the Torah.

“I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” (Matthew 5:17).

Jesus interprets the law in its original sense. What Scripture predicts must be fulfilled.

Jesus fulfilled all the laws and prophecies about reconciliation with God. John the Baptist says in John 1:29: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

The law is not a prerequisite for a relationship with God, but a mirror and guideline.

All ethical commandments that regulate interpersonal relationships retain their meaning.
