The Pursuit of Happiness

The Law Fulfilled

Matthew 5:17-20

The Sermon on the Mount (Part 5 of 16)

Jesus fulfilled the Law so we can stop trying to earn God’s approval and start living to please the King.

I. Jesus Fulfilled What We Could Never Fulfill

Matthew 5:17

II. Jesus Takes God’s Word Seriously

Matthew 5:18

III. Jesus Changes Why We Obey

Matthew 5:19

IV. Jesus Gives Us a Surpassing Righteousness

Matthew 5:20

“Because I trust Jesus, this week I will __________.”

How good is good enough? If your hope is in your goodness: never.

If your hope is in Jesus, the question becomes:

Do I trust the King enough to follow Him?

One command. One step. Trust the King enough to obey Him.
