Jesus magnified the Law -- brought it to its full meaning -- and at the cross He said: "It's finished" (accomplished/paid in full). The unblemished Lamb was being sacrificed to pay for our sins, and so He fulfilled the Law.

so you are saying that Jesus glorified the law? you are saying that Jesus enhanced it, made it of more importance than it is?
well, it will be interesting to see that verse cause I didn't know it was there
this is what happens when people neglect their Old Testament and poorly comprehend the New because of it
was the law put in place to save people? what does Paul say about the law?
was Abraham or Moses or even David saved by the law?
so many questions....

Mat 5:20-30, ""For I say to you: Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter into the Kingdom of YHWH. You have heard that it was said by the people of ancient times: You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment; But I say to you: Whoever is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment! Again, anyone who says; Raca! Insulting your brother, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, but whoever says: Nabel! desiring them to fall away, will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna. Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you; Leave your gift there before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with your brother; then come and offer your gift. Settle a controversy with your accuser quickly, before he gets you into court; or your adversary may deliver you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be put into prison. Truly I say to you: You will never come out of there until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said by the people of ancient times: You shall not commit adultery; But I say to you: Whoever looks on a woman with lust for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your right eye causes you to offend; sin, gouge it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for the whole body to be cast into Gehenna. Or if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for the whole body to be cast into Gehenna."[/FONT]
