Jesus Christ is highly regarded even by non-believers for His innovative teachings. But were His teachings really “new”? 

As we know, Jesus was not the beginning of a religious tradition, but a figure who developed and “fulfilled” an existing tradition centered on Torah and the Hebrew Bible. Jesus frequently references this tradition in the Gospels by the phrase “it is written.” 

The Gospel of Matthew further identifies his source as “the Law and the Prophets” in each of the passages below. 

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:37-40 NIV

 

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. 
Matthew 7:12 NIV

 

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-19 NIV
