Kingdom Living pt. 2

Scripture Readings:

Matthew 5: 17-20 NASB

¹⁷ “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. ¹⁹ Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Additional Readings:

Romans 7

Romans 2:12-16                                                            

Digging Questions:

1. What is the law and the prophets that Jesus is referring too?
2. Why do you think Jesus doesn’t come to abolish the Law?
3. What then should we do with the Law?
4. How much righteousness must you have to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

Reflection Questions:

1. Can you know the law apart from reading the Bible? (Romans 2:12-16)
2. What purposes does the law serve if we cannot keep it completely?
3. How can we apply the Old Testament in our walk with Jesus?

Challenge for the week

Consider the Old Testament, think about how Jesus fulfills it for us.
