During His earthly ministry, Jesus was announcing the
kingdom of God, showing it to be something different from the nation of Israel.
Before the cross, He declared the kingdom was not discernable with the eye, but
was in their midst as He stood with the Pharisees (Luke 17:20-21). A kingdom
not of this world but present - in part - upon it. Scripture provides several
clear statements about Jesus’ position regarding the Mosaic Covenant:
Matthew
12:6 Jesus is greater than the temple
Matthew
12:41-42 Jesus is greater than Jonah and Solomon
Matthew
12:2, 5, 7, 8 Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath
Hebrews
3:3 Jesus has greater glory than Moses
Hebrews 2:14.15;
5:5.10 Jesus is the greater High Priest
