This is just one of several times this occurred.

I used to teach that Jesus was the perfect "law keeper", but I was wrong. He came to end the old covenant and introduce the new covenant.

He had broken the Sabbath in their minds only, but not according to the Torah.
He was a perfect "Law Keeper" for if he was not then he could not have met the demands of the Law and he could not have redeemed us.

If Jesus had failed to keep perfectly the Torah, then it would have proven the unrighteousness of the law. The Law was perfect and it took a perfect man to keep it. He was without any blemish, he was perfect in every way.

Jesus was a repeat, Law breaker. Just the opposite. That is one of the main reasons he was crucified(they hated him). He did things with "blatant disregard" for the Law.

I already dealt with the woman caught in adultery, that Jesus rescued her from the judgement of the Law.

I already dealt with Jesus telling the healed lame man to "carry' his bed through the city on the sabbath.

Want to hear more? I have more...

I like to use Torah comparisons in its exact wording on keeping the Law and its consequences for not keeping it.

If Jesus lived in the days of Moses, and did the things he did, he would have been rightfully put to death by the Law. (gleaning corn on the sabbath, putting a guy up to carrying his bed across town, etc).



I want to submit this thought to you brother. Jesus came to "end" the Law for the believer. He was just introducing the NEW COVENANT, yet he left the main doctrine of our "freedom from the law"(new covenant) in the hands of the Apostles. For AFTER the church began.
