527

Did Christ abrogate the Mosaic law?

“Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law” ([Matthew v, 18]).

“The law and the prophets were until John; since that time the Kingdom of God is preached” ([Luke xvi, 16]).

Paul: “The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come we are no longer under a schoolmaster” ([Galatians iii, 24, 25]). “But now we are delivered from the law” ([Romans vii, 6]).

“Christ certainly did come to destroy the law and the prophets.”—Henry Ward Beecher.
