Did Jesus Abolish the Law or Fulfill It?

About this episode

Pastor Roderick Webster discusses whether Jesus abolished the law or fulfilled it, focusing on the distinction between ceremonial and moral law.

Did Jesus abolish God's law when He died on the cross — or did He do something far more specific? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 2:15 (KJV) and carefully shows the difference between the ceremonial law and the moral law. You will learn why the hostility between Jews and Gentiles ran so deep, how Christ's death nailed the ordinances to the cross, and what it means that believing Jews and Gentiles together became one new humanity — the church. This is a devotion about unity, love, and the peace only Christ can bring. Subscribe to Words From The Word wherever you listen to podcasts.
