Jesus said: "You've heard it said, 'An eye for an eye...'"; what follows are some of the most radical statements ever spoken. The Christ has come, not to abolish the law 'an eye for eye', but somehow to fulfil it! The Christ has come to fulfil more than just the obeying of a law in the externals. Jesus is communicating to us how exactly the Christ is to fulfil the Law in us. Jesus lived 2000 years ago in Bethlehem, but the Christ has come to live in our hearts at this very moment.
