What Did Jesus Mean When He Said He Fulfilled the Law? Understanding Matthew 5:17 in Its Biblical and Theological Context
What did Jesus mean when He said He came to fulfill the Law? This blog explores the full meaning of plēroō in Matthew 5:17, showing that Jesus didn’t continue the Mosaic Law—but completed and replaced it with something far better. We examine common misinterpretations, including Torah observance and Theonomy, and explain why understanding this verse rightly protects both gospel clarity and Christian freedom.
