Butterfly. (Part 5 of 18 in "It's all about Jesus. - Matthew's Gospel")

The Bible teaches that followers of Jesus live under grace, not the law.  Yet Jesus says that He didn't come to abolish the law...and that it should not go away.  What then, is the Christian's relationship to the law.  How does Jesus' grace affect us following the rules?

As Jesus continued His teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, He explained to His disciples, and to the surrounding crowds, that while it can be easy to focus on the rules themselves, they must not forget God's intent in giving the law.  The heart of the law is to stir the heart of man towards God.
