Question: What does it mean that Jesus came to fulfill the Law and the prophets?


Answer from Jesus:

I would like to explain the true meaning behind the statement that I came to fulfill the law and the prophets. I am aware that some Christians have used this statement to reason that the fulfillment of the tradition of the prophets, meaning the delivery of the word of God through an individual human being, came to an end with my ministry. I can understand why people would draw this conclusion, and I do not condemn anyone for believing this idea. Yet, I must tell you that the idea is incorrect.

When I referred to “the Law and the Prophets,” I referred to a specific period, a specific spiritual cycle, in earth’s history. That spiritual cycle began with the exodus from Egypt.

The spiritual teaching that served as a guiding rod for this cycle was the law of Moses. This law was given with the hope that by applying the law people would raise their consciousness. At the end of the spiritual cycle, people would be ready to receive a higher law. Therefore, the fulfillment of the cycle that I referred to as the law and the prophets was the bringing forth of the higher law that I did indeed bring forth in the sermon on the mount and other teachings. In other words, by fulfilling the law and the prophets, I initiated the next 2,000 year cycle. This did not mean that I came to bring an end to the delivery of the living word of God.

The delivery of the living word of God has been happening for as long as there have been people on this planet. As long as people are willing to raise their consciousness so that they can be the open door for the delivery of that word, the delivery of the living word of God will continue indefinitely. I had no intention whatsoever of putting a stop to the delivery of the living word. I think the proof should be the very fact that I continued to appear to my disciples after my resurrection.

I hope these words will not fall on deaf ears and that my followers, those who claim to be Christians, will open their minds and hearts to the living word of God as it is being delivered today and will be delivered in the future.

As I said to Saul on the road to Damascus, I now say to you: “Stop kicking against the pricks.”
