2722.—Came to Fulfil.

By Editor

In Matt. 5:17, we are told that Christ came to fulfil the law and the prophets, and in Matt. 7:12 we are told that the Golden Rule is the law and the prophets. How did Jesus fulfil this? C. K.

Jesus fulfilled the law by living it. He was the Law of God personified, the law in living character. He was the Golden Rule in just the same way. What is meant, however, by the expression in Matt. 7:12 is this, that all that is taught in the law and in the prophets concerning man's duty to man is summed up in the Golden Rule. Jesus fulfilled the prophecies that went before on Him in meeting in His own life and mission just what was predicted.
