The old and the new

Jesus came to fulfill the Old Testament. The Old Testament was good but the law of God shows that we need a Savior and Jesus is the Savior. He is God and he fulfilled the law of God.
I think Hebrews 8:13 goes well with Matthew 5:17-20. When I read the Old Testament, I realize that Jesus is the answer and we need to surrender to him.

Matthew 5:17-20

 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

Hebrews 8:13

 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.
