Here is a video from 2012 explaining the relationship between the OT Law and what Jesus accomplished in the New Covenant.
(Below is the bottom line and some recommended resources)
- Jesus did not come to “annul” or “overturn” the OT Law, He came to “completely fulfill it unto its intended end” (Matt 5:17)
- In His death on the cross, Jesus makes our relationship to the law the same as the binding nature of a widow to her departed husband. (Eph 2:15)
- The Old Covenant was made “obsolete” by the New Covenant in that it is no longer useful for picturing God’s eternal law (His character) since that function was more fully expressed in His Son. (Heb 8:13)
