Has It Been Abolished?

By A. Delos Westcott

"THEREFORE all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
Notice, Jesus does not say "this is better than the law and the prophets," but "this is the law and the prophets." Thus the teaching of the Old Testament law and the prophets regarding man's relation to his fellow men is all summed up in the Golden Rule.
Is it any wonder that Jesus said He had not come to destroy the law or the prophets? Certainly any one would be in poor business trying to destroy the Golden Rule.
