DAY ONE: How Jesus Fulfills Judaism Jesus made a profound statement that is imperative for both Christians and Jews to consider today. He knew how crucial it was for all humanity to know that He fulfilled every command God gave His people. The world would be a different place if Jesus had not fulfilled,  but instead, done away with all that God had previously established. It would have made the Jewish people and their God-given laws irrelevant. Yet the Jews were God’s chosen people—the very means through which He desired to bless the world and reveal Himself to all nations. God had given the Law and the Prophets (meaning the entire Hebrew Bible) to the Jewish people as a standard by which they were to live so that they would be a separated, consecrated, a holy nation—a living symbol of His covenant to the world (Exodus 19:6). If Jesus had come to abolish the Law, then it would render all this meaningless. But Christ did the opposite, which meant the Jewish identity was now found through Him! He was the perfect Jew, the essence of what it meant to be Jewish. And by fulfilling every single command and prophecy, Jesus became the rightful head of this chosen people.
