Jesus' Sermon On the Mount - Matthew 7 Verse 12

Jesus sums up the gospel way of living in just a few words. He began by specifying the extraordinary standards of the Kingdom in chapter 5 - not the abolishment of the Law and the Prophetic Writings, but their veritable fulfilment - through him. Jesus comes not to overturn what the chief priests and Pharisees had ardently insisted upon. He comes to insist not only the Law and the Prophetic Writings - the Old Testament truth - be upheld, but that the heart behind the Law and the Prophetic Writings be the underpinning basis of obedience to the Law and Prophetic Writings-the want to obey the Law and the Prophetic Writings. The chief priests and Pharisees were masters of obeying for obedience's sake, but they completely misread God's mood regarding why the Law and the Prophetic Writings were to be honoured.
