Curses of the Covenant Moses’ summary of the covenant shows us the terms of God’s covenant with Israel, the blessing for obedience and cursing for disobedience attached to the covenant, and the agreement of the people to the covenant.

King Jesus is Scarier than Sinai The next section of the Sermon on the Mount shows us how Jesus fulfils God’s Law, how Jesus explains God’s Law, and that Jesus demands God’s Law of us. Praise God Jesus has accomplished God’s Law on behalf of those who will repent and trust in him!
