Day 4

Matthew 5:17-20

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

Jesus, thank you for coming to this world to bring perfection. You brought wholeness to the law with your love and sacrifice. And with your life you fulfilled over 300 prophecies of the prophets. You brought the ability for us to have a spirit-deep heart transplant. Our wounded, ever sinning heavy hearts can be exchanged for your heart of life. We are made perfect in you and we thank you even though we can’t fully understand it. Jesus, help us to desire Your Word. Help us to crave it and inhale it so that we can live it to the fullest.
