In this lesson we’ll see how Jesus handles the Law. If you haven’t done the Old Testament courses in Bible Journey yet, you might have some negative associations with the word “Torah.” Maybe those associations come from hearing that Jesus did away with the laws of Moses and just asked us to love each other. 

Well, some people thought Jesus came to get rid of the Law. But he said he was here to fulfill it, and he lived a blameless life under the Law. Let’s make sense of these claims and consider what “righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees” looks like today.
