If anyone is interested in reading a beautiful sermon about how Jesus fulfills the law and prophets, here is a link to a sermon by Charles Spurgeon.
Christ the End of the Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Sermon
(No. 1325)
Delivered on Lord's-Day Morning, November 19th, 1876, by
C. H. SPURGEON,
At the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."—Romans 10:4.
I love these words from this sermon, I actually had to send them to my members of my Sunday School class whose emails I had.
"Break! Break, O heavenly day, upon the benighted ones, for our hearts are breaking over them."
Benighted means overtaken by darkness.
Excerpts of Sermon
"Now, what has our Lord to do with the law? He has everything to do with it, for he is its end for the noblest object, namely, for righteousness. He is the "end of the law." What does this mean? I think it signifies three things: first, that Christ is the purpose and object of the law; secondly, that he is the fulfillment of it; and thirdly, that he is the termination of it."
"First, then, our Lord Jesus Christ is the purpose and object of the law. It was given to lead us to him. The law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, or rather our attendant to conduct us to the school of Jesus. The law is the great net in which the fish are enclosed that they may be drawn out of the element of sin..."
"And now, secondly, he is the law's fulfillment. It is impossible for any of us to be saved without righteousness. The God of heaven and earth by immutable necessity demands righteousness of all his creatures. Now, Christ has come to give to us the righteousness which the law demands, but which it never bestows. In the chapter before us we read of "the righteousness which is of faith," which is also called "God's righteousness"; and we read of those who "shall not be ashamed" because they are righteous by believing unto righteousness." ..."
"And now, thirdly, he is the end of the law in the sense that he is the termination of it. He has terminated it in two senses. First of all, his people are not under it as a covenant of life. "We are not under the law, but under grace." The old covenant as it stood with father Adam was "This do and thou shalt live": its command he did not keep, and consequently he did not live, nor do we live in him, since in Adam all died. The old covenant was broken, and we became condemned thereby, but now, having suffered death in Christ, we are no more under it, but are dead to it..."
