The Law of Moses, the Gentiles and Jesus: Hebrew Roots part 2 00:30:02 – 00:31:06

A key interpretive insight about the nature of the Law

Winger argues Matthew (under the Holy Spirit's inspiration) presents the Law as not merely telling Israel what to do but as predicting and revealing who Jesus is. Washings, sacrifices, and dietary regulations contain predictive elements about the Messiah. This is why Jesus's fulfillment of the Law is so comprehensive—the Law itself was always pointing to him.
